Expecting math students to get the right answer is now considered to be a form of “white supremacy”

Deconstructing Racism in Mathematics Instruction

White supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in everyday teacher actions. Coupled with the beliefs that underlie these actions, they perpetuate educational harm on Black, Latinx, and multilingual students, denying them full access to the world of mathematics.The table below identifies the ways in which white supremacy shows up in math classrooms.

Dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms

We see white supremacy culture show up in the mathematics classroom even as we carry out our professional responsibilities outlined in the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP). Using CSTPas a framework, we see white supremacy culture in the mathematics classroom can show up when:

• The focus is on getting the “right” answer.

• Independent practice is valued over teamwork or collaboration.

• “Real-world math” is valued over math in the real world.

• Students are tracked (into courses/pathways and within the classroom).

• Participation structures reinforce dominant ways of being.

Advanced math evolved in Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and India how could it possibly be racist?

NO No, you have to think homey. Instead of 1 + 1, it’s “Tayshon bought a blunt and Latrell stole 2 blunts, how many blunts are there in the jail cell?”

Where does that Place Asians?

Back in the Philippines, the schooling is mostly private and the schools put rightful pressure on students or else they have to pay the same tuition AGAIN if/when they fail, with parents who are at the poverty line.

That's because The Philippines aren't a third-world Mitthole like California...

Getting wrong answers in mathematical problems is a sure path to utter failure.

There was once a state legislator who wondered why the ratio of a diameter of a circle to its circumference could not be simply expressed as “3”, rather than the long and irrational number “3.1416xxxxxxx”. It would only work if circles were somehow magically hexagons.

Which works perfectly well in a beehive. There, in the honeycomb, hexagons are merely highly compressed circles.

Math is the latest reality to get rid of.

Marriage, gender, etc. - now even math will be made subjective.

I assume they’ll only fly from Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago and Oakland.

> Math syllabus as constructed by Ed majors who flunked remedial algebra <

Very true! Back when I first started teaching in public schools (1980s), we teachers determined our own curricula. The math teachers would meet as a group, the English teachers would meet as a group, etc. We knew what our kids needed.

That all changed around 2005. As you noted, Ed majors with the latest garbage “research” took over. I told a story about that in my post #17.

What is 2 + 2?
Well it depends on what color your skin is, whether you are gay or trans or whatever etc.
We need to get these people to design some bridges and then force them to drive over the bridges they designed.

That minority-owned, woman-run, democrat-party-donating, multi-racial, ultra-awarded company DID DROP their bridge down on innocent Miami drivers. Killed quite a few them too.
