California needs real math education, not gimmicks
In my younger years, particularly during my schooling, I held a deep resentment towards the educational system. It felt overtly clear to me, as a student, that schools failed to effectively foster learning and growth. However, my perspective has evolved over time. I&#x27;ve come to understand that the issues I observed are not unique to the school system but rather characteristic of large institutions as a whole.<p>The pervasive failure of these institutions to meet their stated objectives isn&#x27;t an isolated phenomenon. It&#x27;s symptomatic of a larger, systemic problem – the widespread presence of perverse and misaligned incentives at all levels within large organizations.<p>Unless we find a way to counteract this, attempts at reform will merely catalyze further expansion and complexity. The uncomfortable truth is, once an organization surpasses a certain size, it seems to take on a &#x27;life of its own&#x27;, gradually sacrificing its original mission to prioritize self-preservation and expansion. Who has ever seen an organization like this voluntarily reform itself? I certainly haven&#x27;t.
