When are they bringing back Ebonics?
That way with their “increasing” math skills and language “gifts”, they can starve but be unable to tell anyone they are starving.
MathBonics
and nowhere does it say teach them timestables...
I can just hear our next President Kamala Harris on
meaning making.
“The story behind meaning making is simple. Something simple means it’s not difficult, really. Meaning making is a form of making something that has a meaning. It is the making of meaning.”
Lunacy. Math is math. The least woke subject. Nonsense, this is.
So some punky brats who never studied and slouch in their seats and doze off in class will not have to have the correct math test answers, just the meaning and feelings about them.
Old Zig Ziglar joke about his kid in school.
“I’m afraid I’m going to flunk algebra.”
“Hey, your dad does all that positive thinking lecture stuff. Be positive.”
“Okay. I’m positive I’m going to flunk algebra.”
She’s a real light in the darkness.
Jake has 2 9mm handguns and 3 10mm handguns. What is the total caliber of all his handguns?
They do not want to educate children. They are admitting they depend on ignorant people.
Making something meaningful.
I can see doing that once or twice to illustrate a concept. That turning everything into that becomes exhausting. Even worse, the student will fail to comprehend the abstract ocncept, which is the most important thing.
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution.
my young dtr brought home a math paper many yrs ago....she got a good grade on it even though there were obvious many mistakes...but the way she explained it, is that the teacher knew that she sort of kind of knew the material and actual answers were’nt important.
Illiteracy in Action.
This is nothing more than woke BS...And for those who say CRT is not being taught in schools, this is exactly how they are actually embedding it in curriculum.
Having said that, there does need to be two tracks for math education...a collegiate level track, and a non-collegiate level track. Students on the non-collegiate track should be taught practical life skills math...that they will actually use in everyday life. If they eventually do want to go to college in a discipline that requires high level math skills, they can go to community college and take remedial math to catch up.
Good! Maff be rasis!
Dump affirmative action. So they just alter the discipline.
This all boils down to whether public middle schools in CA will “allow” 8th graders to take algebra or not. If they don’t, I guarantee you the Asians and wealthy whites will pay the $300 to take it online privately. My own daughter did exactly that, so she could be ready for AP Calculus in high school. Now she’s a STEM major at UCSB. This will only hurt those CA is trying to help. UC wants to see 10+ AP classes for admission.
