San Francisco middle schools will teach Algebra I again this fall — though concerns about implementation continue amid a shortage of qualified teachers.
The 6-1 vote by the San Francisco Unified School District board Tuesday followed a decadelong battle over eighth graders' access to higher-level math courses and a larger debate over academic opportunity and equity in math performance.
Stanford researchers found last year that large racial and ethnic gaps in advanced math enrollment persisted even after the policy change.
There are problems finding people who are capable of teaching middle school algebra? Wow, those mandatory master's degrees for teachers have really done wonders for the profession.
They have, if you goal is to fill education with gay commie "activists". Because those are the only kind of people who can make it through the garbage indoctrination that pretends to be a degree in "education".
Excellent point
