In the Name of Equity, California Will Discourage Students Who Are Gifted at Math

[B. Kidd]

Gifted children don't belong in public school system anyway.

Why not? They can uplift the rock bangers.

That was the stated purpose of forced school busing. In one generation we went from the right to attend the closest school to busing kids all over the place.

The NAACP and the courts thought having little black children sitting in classes with little white children would aid the little black children's education.

It failed. All government schemes fail. They just keep imposing another one, and another one, etc.

Well. Blacks can't bitch that they weren't given a square shot!

Is that X²?

Another exponential fail!

The stupidity in California and across America continues to grow. Where it ends is anyone's guess. But the dumbing down continues unabated.

​

California's Department of Education is working on a new framework for K-12 mathematics that discourages gifted students from enrolling in accelerated classes that study advanced concepts like calculus.​

​

The draft of the framework is hundreds of pages long and covers a wide range of topics. But its overriding concern is inequity. The department is worried that too many students are sorted into different math tracks based on their natural abilities, which leads some to take calculus by their senior year of high school while others don't make it past basic algebra. The department's solution is to prohibit any sorting until high school, keeping gifted kids in the same classrooms as their less mathematically inclined peers until at least grade nine.​

​

"The inequity of mathematics tracking in California can be undone through a coordinated approach in grades 6–12," reads a January 2021 draft of the framework. "In summary, middle-school students are best served in heterogeneous classes."​

​

In fact, the framework concludes that calculus is overvalued, even for gifted students.​

​

"The push to calculus in grade twelve is itself misguided," says the framework.​

​

As evidence for this claim, the framework cites the fact that many students who take calculus end up having to retake it in college anyway. Of course, de-prioritizing instruction in high school calculus would not really solve this problem—and in fact would likely make it worse—but the department does not seem overly worried. The framework's overriding perspective is that teaching the tough stuff is college's problem: The K-12 system should concern itself with making every kid fall in love with math.​

​

Broadly speaking, this entails making math as easy and un-math-like as possible. Math is really about language and culture and social justice, and no one is naturally better at it than anyone else, according to the framework.​

Dumb Muslims want what is called equity. They fool people into having them around, to dumb people down. Muslims talk like the boastful Satan, who does not look like what the church says, visually seen. That is a colorful being. Ezekiel 28:13 - 19, KJV.

I can translate that paperwork right now.

Asian kids are amazing smart and hard working. White kids are smart but lazy and lack the ethical structure to drive themselves to learn better. Black kids and Latino kids are dumb, lazy, lack ethical structure and are made to look like a prior species of human being as far as their intelligence quotient is concerned when compared to the Asian kids...

The math placements may actually suggest a wide Gap in the intelligence capacity so this must be erased at all costs even if it's true.

Yeah see they didn't need thousands of pages I just summed it all up in a paragraph.

Lol.....
It sure takes a lot for them to deviate from the standard.

They just keep multiplying the reasons that cause division! This is squarely rooted in politics!

I agree with you that automation can be of some help in education.

The outrage on this topic is entirely conservative

Libs smugly call conservatives uneducated and then run away and hide when the liberal dumbing down of America is exposed

It more than failed...it resulted in the collapse of cities.
