California Math Initiative

[maria55]

I just learned about California Math Initiative that would not allow kids in public schools to take advanced math until grade 11. It will further dilute math in public schools (in the name of equity), but let rich kids from private schools get ahead of everyone in publics.

Who knows, how is it possible to stop this initiative? Any links to any organization that could protect our kids and give them chance to learn Calculus in public school?

CA Dept. of Education opposes HS calculus?

At first, this article from yesterday made me very sad for my younger siblings, But, I suppose it’s just one of the many pieces of context that the admissions officers will consider. If CA makes it harder for public school students to advance in math, they will be evaluated differently than students from other states.
