[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]San Francisco Unified School District removed Algebra 1 from all public middle schools (8th grade) starting in 2014 and until 2026. The policy was framed as an equity initiative to reduce racial disparities.

One party does not want to teach Algebra and the other party does not want to teach evolution. Nut jobs are running the show.[/quote]
haha.. so true. But, I would restate that as "one party wants to dumb things down in the name of equity..."

I have one kid in college, and one about to go.

The one in college went to a magnet program, and they have always been very academically advanced. They breezed through  HS and college (about to graduate) as a dual STEM major - 4.0 in HS and college.

The other kid is above average but not as academically advanced. I worry about how this DC will handle academics in college. The school district with their 50% minimum, retakes, no finals does not do these types of kids who are college bound any favors.   And this applies to any kid, irrespective of skin color.[/quote]
