If the patents and kids do not value education the kids will not learn ... no matter how much is spent.
San Francisco decided to move Algebra I from eighth grade (about 13 years old) to ninth grade for all pupils, hoping that an extra year of maths would leave pupils better prepared.

I was educated using story problems.
Their ‘maths logic’ does not compute.
When 90% of Americans were farmers as in 1800, or even 50% as in 1900, it didn’t matter that most people couldn’t do algebra.
Today, when there are practically no strong back/weak mind jobs left that are being done by machines, being able to think is a necessity for first world living—but our masters do not want thinkers but helots, and they are reaping the helot whirlwind.
Ten years ago, 1% of black pupils passed the state maths exam.
What is it today? 0%? Going from 1% to 0% could be "almost no effect."
I bet they can make change when somebody gives them $40 for a $20 rock...
Wanna educate the children? Use the math and English books and skills from a hundred years ago. This current crap doesn’t work and the scores prove it.
The only way to achieve “racial equity” is to execute all non-black students.
They will figure it out eventually....and then try to do it.
“hoping that an extra year of maths would leave pupils better prepared.”
Because the previous years of “maths” were so succesful, one more oughta fix the pathetic results.
Obviously there is a republican white male mucking up the works in there.
It’s like Bart Simpson once said to a special ed teacher: So we are going to catch up by going slower.
“showed the programme had almost no effect”
That’s because somebody with a 70 IQ requires extensive rote training to master making change, and will never, ever master long division.
Algebra lol
I took Algebra in 8th, Algebra II in 9th and Geometry in 10th.
I also took that in 1983, 1984, and 1985, so maybe the quality of my teachers were better then, too.
