California’s math misadventure is about to go national
Kids who have wealthy/involved parents that push them will always outperform kids who don't. The government can do whatever they want to try to equalize that (except encouraging parents to do better), I just hope they waste as little money as possible and don't interfere with gifted kids.FWIW my 14 year old is doing pre-algebra now, she struggles with math and the way they are teaching it seems insane. Real understanding of concepts has been replaced with step by step methods that allow you to arrive at a solution without needing to understand what you are doing. That probably results in relatively equal outcomes but she has no clue how to do things that fall outside of the frameworks they established.
