Great @jonathanchait piece on the madness of the edu-left.https://t.co/eln87ocNRF

As I've written before, the dangerous idea teachers unions genuinely did import from Critical Race Theory is this notion that all efforts to measure learning are wrong and bad. https://t.co/yNlaZ97X9Y

I will admit that I have a conflict of interest here even more pernicious than Robin Chait working in education policy — my kid is enrolled in DC Public Schools and so I want them to keep measuring whether or not students are learning and try to make sure they are.

Partly why I worry about sanctions on everything Russian - there are good Russians i want to be part of the next hopefully more evolved system, but wiping out Russian everything to get rid of Putin will likely rebound plus hurt the reform-minded as well.

And then math - while i love math, I'm never sure what people think they should be doing with it. There's much more reason for high school kids to learn basic statistics and probability and logic than pre-Calculus, and if you are headed towards science you can do more. To sell real estate or work at Wendy's or handle online orders you don't need much. Finding your way around a computer, a bit of Excel, how to use a CRM and Word/Google sheets is "employable" enough for many.

I know if I was a street-wise high school senior who never learned math beyond fractions, I would probably turn to crime, it's just that simple, there's not a lot of options for ya.

2/2

SF's black students did much better before accelerated courses were discontinued. Hard to identify causality, but studies "suggest that establish[ing] a separate classroom for top‐performing students could boost the performance" of disadvantaged students & students of color.
