San Francisco's decision to delay Algebra for all students until the 9th grade in the name of "equity," is a really bad one. Black parents didn't ask for this, and this strategy won't achieve the equity that they're looking for.
Hard to accept: A lot of "anti-woke" people believe that being woke is all just a lot of bad decisions like this. This belief is due to framing by the far-right: any bad policy is "woke." I help them understand that Black families don't want this and didn't ask for it.
Black 12 year old public school kids in San Francisco aren't given the opportunity to learn Algebra...
But Black 12 year old public school kids in Nigeria not only get to learn Algebra, but also how to do binary arithmetic. 🤷🏿♂️
Here's a full lesson of how Nigeria introduces algebra to 12 year olds:
Here's how Nigeria introduces a 12 year old to Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal:

And you'll notice that both lessons are taught by Black men teachers.
Black 12 year old kids in San Francisco *have* Chromebooks.
But Black 12 year old kids in Nigeria learn the prerequisites to *write the code* for Chromebooks.
Later, if/when Nigerian kids outperform Black US kids in math, we will blame the Black US kids, or their parents, or "wokeness," or "no dads in the household," or "they just don't value education" or "they lack immigrant work ethics," etc.
Our ability to victim blame Black kids in the US for poor academic performance knows no bounds.
@mekkaokereke US schools are known around the world to have low standards, but in the current UK context, Tories have ended esential financial support for post-16 education; they've been drastically underfunding schools and pupil:teacher ratios continue to worsen.
The concept of lifelong learning has also been binned so people who failed in school have no way to fix it.
Sunak would not have the balls to say what he's just said without constant police protection.
