This is really upsetting. It took ten years for the district to admit harm. Nobody is held accountable. The people making all those nonsensical presentations saying how wonderful this was are still in charge of the math dept. Boaler is distancing herself. Lot of CYA.
3/3 Right now I'm at a loss for words, but I'm happy the district made this presentation.
It just amazes me that a decade's worth if kids were harmed by these changes and no one is being held accountable. Let's not let that happen again.

disgraceful. she used SF public schools as her experiment (no algebra I in middle). Lying about failure rate. 4.2% failed last year it was in 8th NOT 43% as she says. I bet it was a misplaced decimal. Ten years later it is a miserable failure and SF is bringing it back to 8th

SF's failed math experiment was *not* about equity. Any more than a con person telling us they love us while all the while in it for themselves, truly cares. This was a con. They lied about success, stonewalled data requests. They had to pushed to the wall to admit any of it

MHO? Depends on the forum. Men talking to other men wrt sexism. White people to other white people wrt racism? That is one thing. People tend to get less defensive when a fellow guy or same race talks to them. However? If talking about leading over a poc/woman/LGBT? I disagree.

I hate the premise that when Lois dies Clark goes off the rails. I just do not think he would. These types of stories put Lois in the role of his emotional keeper. Instead of a partner. When/if she dies? I feel he'd honor her memory. This is why Injustice bothers me so much

I can not quote this enough. SF ran around the country lying about their success. Districts believed them because education reporters breathlessly report it all as fact. It was nonsense. We need Back and Latinx engineers and scientists. Algebra I in 8th is the gateway.
My Algebra teacher was Mrs. Kaid at the Garret Morgan Cleveland School of Science, an inner city school of working class students that was 95% Black and Brown.
We all learned Algebra in the 8th grade. It was hard for many of us. Some people failed, but then they passed. No
