[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make a post when the regents actually listen and Berkeley is test required. Berkeley undergrad has never really been Stanford… [/quote]

Yet it was Stanford Professor, Jo Boaler, that set the state standards leading to the current math crisis in CA (and beyond). Where is the accountability? She falsified studies, scammed schools to hear about her flawed studies watering down math elementary and high school math standards (over the objection of parents and teachers), but remains a well-paid prof at Stanford? [/quote]
Your issue is school administrators, not Boaler. What is with people here and letting admin get away with being terrible at their jobs but being  hellbent on blaming teachers and academics?[/quote] Admin's job is to make the school look good, which means inflating grades to boost grad rates. You can't blame schools for behaving in their own self interest.[/quote]
Admin are responsible for running the schools.[/quote] Yes, but rigorous grading is not an essential part of running a school, which is why admin aren't fired or promoted based on their school's grading rigor but instead metrics like grad rate that reward grade inflation.[/quote]
