Bigotry of low expectations: San Fransisco's decision to delay algebra to 9th grade backfires

[OSR stands with Israel]

This is a complete disgrace and it’s a huge reason why California has dropped significantly in education rankings over the years .

We should “trust the experts” though

If I'm reading this right the clowns in the SF municipal government/school board saw that BIPOC students were underperforming White/Asian students so instead of looking at income disparities that caused that determined that the material or way that it was taught was racist?

This is exactly why CRT should not be allowed to be used in education at all . By that I don’t only mean teach it but apply it in trainings or policy.

I am completely agaist delaying algebra, but this is not the reason CA K-12 education is so bad. Their numbers started going bad in the 80s-90s and hit rock bottom in the early 2000s (they were even below FL and several  deep south states). Most would ascribe it to proposition 13.

They are still below FL and TX . This is the ranking of K-12 education by state :

Out of the 4 major states :


Florida is ranked 16th
New York is ranked 19th
Texas is ranked 35th
California is ranked 40th


That is embarrassingly bad especially given that CA is also the most “new economy” driven state out of the 4
