SFUSD parents voiced concerns over “cherry picked” data and lack of transparency.
A court decision in Palo Alto that found its school district to be in violation of the 2015 California Math Placement Act could set a precedent to challenge the San Francisco Unified School District’s controversial math pathway sequence.
But Palo Alto Unified superintendent Don Austin said PAUSD and SFUSD math pathways"could not be more different." “We compared the performance of PAUSD students to those in Los Altos and Cupertino that offer flexible math pathways and practice reasonable placement procedures, broken down by demographic. The economically disadvantaged students at PAUSD are doing worse than those in Los Altos and Cupertino,” she said.
But Cohen believes this emphasis on slowing down learning and not letting students with high abilities work together to get ahead is detrimental to careers and livelihoods.
