[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote the stuff about the math curriculum complaints, and my kid still is there, so —- yeah, not sure about the bullying.

FWIW, the school announced it was shifting emphasis and told the parents it was going to and then did, so that’s just…a fact?

Again, not a quant, but the parents complaining have the types of girls who might end up at MIT. One trying to apply out.

Also, equity practices have had an effect on math scores, and I know that because I read an article about how it played out in San Francisco, where the changes they made in the name of equity tanked test scores and widened the racial gap. It’s not some weird right wing conspiracy theory. It was in the NYTimes.

“Equity practices” and “shifting emphasis” - kind of a broad brush.  It’s not a one size fits all thing.  For STEM, I know there’s a debate about what age to start splitting people into different groups.  That’s partly an equity question but not exclusively.  I don’t think you’ll find that the high school curriculum is somehow weaker than it used to be.

Personally I’d didn’t love the parent DEI stuff when it was the outside consultants.  But I never found myself doubting the quality of what was happening in the classroom. [/quote]
