[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to think the same as you OP. I thought DEI pushback was simply racist republicans being racists.

Then I read a proposed curriculum that asserted that Mathematics’ focus on students getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture. I then looked into DEI further and was shocked to discover what is creeping into public school curriculums and lesson plans.[/quote]

It’s a bunch of garbage 90% of the time and a total money grab for unqualified new DEI “experts.”

Even San Fran fell for an extremism activists new low quality “curriculum,” currently audited by parents, board, and national news and was recently terminated.[/quote]

It’s wild that SF banned algebra in 7th and 8th. However to be fair - the fact is that trends upend public school curriculum all the time - like “whole language” displacing phonics. The current harmful trend is deciding that “direct instruction” (ie teaching) is anathema to education. So it’s not all equity. It’s that K-12 in the US is frighteningly bad unless it is externally structured like AP and IB. [/quote]

Totally irrelevant to DC private schools.

no, very relevant - all this stuff makes it to private schools too

and it's the same general crowd that keeps wanting to reinvent the wheel

anything to avoid having to show an upward trend in apples to apples test scores, i.e. improvement over time in our ability to get information into students' brains

so I agree - DEIB is just one small piece[/quote]
