The quote below comes from the latest draft of the California Math Framework (Chapter 4): There are, however, many situations in which humans are poorly served by such generalizations, especially those that lead to inequities or the unjust treatment of people based on characteristics that call forth internalized stories about expected capacities, motivation, behavior, or background. Such stories are often emotional, based on little evidence, and socially buttressed. Action based on these stories does great harm to school communities and individual students.
We’re doing the same in Australia, thanks in no small part to progressivists having been captured by Boaler and her ilk. It’s a dreadful thing. Worse, teachers who don’t buy into such nonsense have to hide their practices and pretend to be doing problem based learning or face discipline.
Boaler is about to make poor Black and Brown children her lab rats, and 10 years from now when we’re worse off they’ll blame teachers and “poverty”.
