The California Department of Education has received a barrage of criticism from parents and experts after posting a draft of potential revisions to the state’s guidelines on math curriculum and courses.
The education department posted a draft of its proposed reforms in February, expecting to have the plan approved by in November. Backlash to the proposed new math guidelines has put the plan on hold, however, according to The New York Times.
The guidelines, which would advise the state’s public schools and school administrators, would discourage the concept of gifted students while injecting social justice issues, such as gender theory and inequality, into coursework.
