'Algebra for none' fails in San Francisco

Argh this grinds my gears.

It’s the education SYSTEM that is wrong. We are working with a 150 year old way of educating kids that does not apply to our culture today. Kids aren’t going to work on the farm or in a factory. They need the math!!!

For courses like algebra, etc. kids need support at home from parents. When that support isn’t available (for whatever reason), don’t water down the content for goodness sake. The kids need 1-on-1 tutoring help.

Cut off the head of the problem—the school administration that continues to support our archaic system-and spend the money you will save on tutoring the kids. Or switch to mastery education. Fix the PROBLEM.

Used to think that story was a fiction, that clearly anyone would realize didn’t make sense and could draw the right conclusions. Unfortunately in our modern era it seems some people took its lessons as a playbook. It’s hard to push for equality across the board when some people are clearly just better at certain things. Let people achieve what they can without limit.

When it comes to politics, San Francisco is the world capital of learned helplessness.

London Breed et al. are the problem solving equivalent of giving up.

Anyone with resources will avoid the public school system.

Progressive nuts embracing equality over everything else have taken over.
