WHY IS THE MATH BOOK SO SAD???

DeSantis refuses to release examples of the supposed CRT in the math books that he has banned for having algebra and calculus in them... So here is another riddle, why is the math book so sad?

Isn’t the progressive argument that if math itself isn’t racist, the way we teach it is? In San Francisco years back we pushed Algebra I from an 8th grade class to a 9th grade class under the guise of equity. So for people complaining about the dumbing down of education this is a perfect example. It’s not about improving standards and performance but lowering them, again under the guise of equity. (And we see it with trying to remove the SAT and other standardized tests and multiple other examples.)

It's just the latest example of the GOP trying to keep the populous dumb and ignorant?!! An uneducated or undereducated populous is easy to manipulate and control?!! Education is the key, from future Trumps, DeSantis, and Abbotts, ect.?!!

It is just sad to watch the backlash against math by the alt right.
 
It appears many were rejected for using Common Core standards such as this Houghton Mifflin Harcourt math textbook called Go Math! used for K to 5th grades

In this case, it appears it wasn't CRT but rather Common Core that got the book nixed by the state.

What's wrong with it?

Florida ended using Common Core--as did most other states. If the book teaches to a standard different from the one the state uses, it gets rejected.

I understand but you posted an example so I asked you what was wrong with it. Also what's wrong with Common Core?

I keep asking that but I never get a definitive answer.

In the case of Common Core, many states initially adopted it, either by choice or by coercion on the part of the DoE at the federal level. The results after about a decade in use to varying degrees is that students are doing worse in core education measures and testing.

a new large-scale study by the federally funded Center for Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) has found that since the adoption of Common Core there has been a decline in key test scores.

C-SAIL researchers analyzed changes in student performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, from 2010 to 2017.

They had assumed that Common Core would raise student performance on the NAEP exam, but they were in for a surprise.

“Contrary to our expectation,” they reported, the data revealed that the Common Core standards produced “significant negative effects on 4th graders’ reading achievement during the 7 years after the adoption of the new standards.”

Back in 2013, when New York was one of the first states in the nation to adopt Common Core standards and administer tougher tests, children’s test scores initially plummeted. Then, as teachers had time to develop lesson plans and adjust to new curricula, student performance began to improve. A similar pattern seemed to be emerging among the state’s high school students, who are required to pass a series of exams, called Regents, to earn a diploma. After an initial drop in pass rates among eighth and ninth graders on a Common Core algebra exam in 2014-15, scores improved.

But now, after five years of high schools teaching to the Common Core standards (now slightly revamped and called Next Generation Learning Standards in New York), there’s a sudden spike in the high-school failure rate. More than 13,000 more students failed the algebra Regents exam in the most recent 2017-18 school year compared to the previous year, pushing the failure rate up from 25 percent to 30 percent, according to a December 2018 report by education policy consultant David Rubel. In the English Language Arts or reading exam, the number of failing students grew by more than 12,000 students, increasing the failure rate from 16 percent to 21 percent.

Education standards do not flop spectacularly. Their failure gives rise to nothing like the black-and-white films of early aeronautical experiments: no missiles exploding on launch pads or planes tumbling from the sky. But 10 years after 46 of the 50 states adopted the Common Core standards, the lack of evidence that they have improved student achievement is nonetheless remarkable. Despite the fact that Common Core enjoyed the bipartisan support of policy elites and commanded vast financial resources from both public and private sources, it simply did not accomplish what its supporters had intended. The standards wasted both time and money and diverted those resources away from more promising pursuits.

So, Florida is hardly alone in dumping Common Core, and in choosing to reject books using it they're on target. CRT is a different issue, and one at this point I haven't found evidence of in the books I've been able to examine to at least some extent. It may be there, or not, but I haven't personally seen it as of yet.

You haven't seen it because it doesn't exist. Welcome to the Trumpian world.

You don't think so? Hopefully you don't go to a store and have to wait for the checkout kid to try to figure out how much change you get back when the cash register goes down and doesn't tell them how much change you get back.

Trump has nothing to do with it. Of course, you silly fools still have a terminal case of...

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!

...and we laugh at you

Unlike you, I don't think about Trump 24/7.
