Stanford prof calls cops on Berkeley prof who exposed her $5K/hr consulting fee
&gt; Nelson and Boaler’s very public beef is rooted in a controversial debate over how to teach math to California’s K-12 students.<p>&gt; Boaler is behind the ongoing effort to change the math curriculum framework in California that includes, in part, increasing equity, pushing algebra 1 back to 9th grade and applying social justice principles to lessons.<p>Every time I hear anything about math education in the US, I leave convinced that &quot;professors of education&quot; should have nothing to do with it.  And this opinion doesn&#x27;t have anything to do with contemporary politics, since as far as I can tell, they&#x27;ve had a malign influence for at least a <i>century</i> (e.g. math education in the US was dumbed down by the &quot;education experts&quot; in first half of the 20th century, until the requirements of the space race and cold war forced a turnaround in the 60s).
