She's a Stanford professor of math education who's arguably most responsible for the new California Math Framework — a set of curriculum recommendations that advocate against teaching algebra to most of the state's gifted middle-schoolers in the name of equity. But she's sent her own children to a $48,000/year private school that teaches its middle schoolers algebra, and now she's accused of significantly distorting citations in her research to support conclusions the original studies never reached. Much of this research underpins the new Framework. Meet Jo Boaler, California's architect of "equity-based algebra" in @metaversehell's piece today 👇
@PirateWires She set up kids to fail in Math. How many of the gifted ones will miss out on potential successful jobs now?
@PirateWires Equity is for blacks who can't compete with whites.
@PirateWires This is the worst kind of racism.
@PirateWires Liberals are disgusting. Shame on her.
@PirateWires “A society that puts equality ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom.” Wisdom from the late, great Milton Friedman.
@PirateWires Tens of thousands of kids will be less capable of higher math in later years just because she doesn’t want students who don’t want to learn algebra to feel left out. All why she’s paying nearly $50k a year to make sure her kids get the head start on advanced math.
@PirateWires such a good piece piratewires.com/p/jo-boaler-mi…
