I received a BA in elementary education at Montana State University and then, after teaching for a few years, went to The Evergreen State College for their Masters in Math Education program. I taught in a self-contained 5th grade classroom, teaching for all subjects, but math quickly became my passion. I think that the software developer in me gravitated towards math.

Finance IS a "math related profession." Mathematics is the language of architects, also a math related profession.


Higher-level math should an elective for kids with a keen interest on going into STEM fields. For students planning to major in a STEM field, push yourself by taking advanced math classes, at honors or AP level if offered by your school.


If you're not majoring in a STEM field, focus the majority of your time and energy on classes more closely related to the subject you plan to major in.


COMMON SENSE.

Well, if you redefine "math related fields" to include finance and architecture and medicine, then sure.

However, you must not have read the article and/or followed the math situation in our schools. Kids that ARE interested in math and want to go into STEM (or other fields you just defined as "math related" - such as finance or medicine) are being held back for no good reason. They want to do advanced math and are ready to study it, but due to idiotic decision by the school district - and some unethical, and it turns out, illegal practices - a bunch of kids are not able to take the classes they should be taking.

Re: "Higher-level math should an elective for kids with a keen interest on going into STEM fields."


Yes, that's what the District has apparently been blocking. This is not a mandatory thing, it's just an optional route to get placed in a math class at the correct level.


As to the quality of instruction in a single math class trying to combine learners of widely varying abilities, that's a different (if related) issue. Living in Silicon Valley, it doesn't seem unreasonable to allow students who like math to study it as their abilities allow.


As an experienced PAUSD parent/alum, elite college admissions consultant with a national practice, retired lawyer and Harvard/Stanford alum, I want to share some thoughts to supplement my prior post. We have outstanding public schools and they are known by colleges to be highly competitive; however, elite colleges can only take so many students from all of the top high schools around the country/world etc. In general, the top public high schools like Paly and Gunn are most competitive due to AP curriculum, large class sizes, a few kids winning national STEM or other accolades, etc. Therefore, within this context of extreme competition, we suggest that students should focus on their own best academic path while pursuing their own true intellectual interests while ensuring a strong college prep curriculum. In that context, for those for whom math is that passion to go above and beyond, or who just want a very strong math college prep program, this lawsuit was important to help address the inflexibility of the district in trying to control something that is a many-headed hydra (in the best sense) that is really beyond their control. Hence I will offer some practical suggestions of a few options for families who need to navigate this now, and this applies not just to math but to other subjects. 1) Take outside courses from accredited online schools if you can afford. You will have a separate transcript to report on college applications. 2) Familiarize yourself with the Ed Code/BP/AR re alternative credits for graduation, e.g., for foreign language. 3) During summer or semesters, leave PAUSD, enroll in outside school, get transcript; re-enroll and have them accept your transfer transcript (but in re-enrolling you risk getting enrolled in different school). For elite college admissions, realize that to be impressive in math there is a whole other world out there of prestigious math programs, competitions, math excellence to undertake. Likewise for STEM, arts, etc.

Catherine Kirkman, thank you for sharing your wisdom.


Almost everything has been said, but below are a few responses to Ms Ladomirak's statement:


"We were basically deciding where a kid was going to end up as a senior in high school when they were 11," Ladomirak said. "The new system gives those kids a chance to live that three year lifetime that happens at their own pace to not be effectively penalized for taking a little bit longer to transition from early childhood."


1. Personally, I want choices for my own students, even if some seem out of reach. Any system by de facto determines where a kid will end up (in HS) by the choices it offers, and in our diverse culture we should strike a balance for high and low. achievers. The students and their parents have choices too. I can say "No" to an AP class if our student is filled up with ECs. 


There is something offensive (and objectifying) about our district trying to force not equal opportunity for all, but rather, equal outcomes for all. We are all on a path of enlightenment and development, with some coming sooner or later. Many of our children will not be at the top in MS or HS, and there will be some benefits to that. 


2. I remember some Hispanic students giving feedback [paraphrasing]: "Stop watching us." There are some negative consequences to assuming some underachieving students are victims and forcing them to take a path they've yet embraced. 


3. "When the student is ready the teacher appears": there are abundant free resources (including free online tutoring) for self-acceleration. Our HS teachers are supportive and welcoming of students taking summer bridge courses and our district used to offer bridging classes as well. 


4. Motivation to learn has to be nurtured and responded to. It takes both the teacher and the student to engage. We can always do a better job helping students find meaning/purpose in their learning. Developing more peer academic leaders could be very effective.







Why do the current Superintendant and Board hate math and science so much? That is the impression they make in recent years. 


Trustee Shounak Dharap comments are erratic. At times he attacks disabled kids who fail in PAUSD schools and have to attend special needs schools, demanding they can all be served in a PAUSD schools. The next minute he says the district can never serve all kids and some should go elsewhere. Then he is virtue signalling claiming to help the poor with free legal work, yet he creates huge legal fees for some disabled children stating 100% of them must attend PAUSD schools, or must not attend, depending on his feelings at the moment. 


Many of the Board members are attorney's. Sorry to say but it is a field often chosen for large earnings potential without math or science. I am not a math or science person myself. I wonder if the Board member's privileged ability to earn high incomes without math and science could prejudice them against these subjects. But not everyone can be good at words and legal concepts. Being a lawyer does not mean you are more or less intelligent than a scientist. Every student should be given a chance to succeed in their gifted subjects, be it with words, math, sports... 


I often wondered how Administrators allow such flimsly non-scientific based data through, and how they could be in their jobs when they seem to know so little about data. The Superintendant has the title "Dr." for an EdD. Do EdD's study statistics? Is an EdD is equivilant to a PhD? Do EdD's study the same amount of subjects such as research methodology, calculus, and statistics? If not, they should not be commenting on them and consult experts in these subjects before making decisions to ensure they are truly informed and non-biased. 





So if you feel you are not smart enough for college, ask yourself if you can implement some of these skills. Can you make more time for learning? One approach is to create a regular study schedule and make sure you allow yourself ample time. Most college success experts agree that students should study two hours outside of class for every hour in class. Only break away from your committed schedule if an extreme situation prevents you from sticking to it.

Another strategy to consider implementing is group study. For example, rather than relying just on your own knowledge, notes, and skills, try studying with other students in your difficult classes. Studying in a group gives every group member a chance to ask questions and talk about concepts.

You can also add a tutor to your study group. You will really be able to notice a positive difference. Tutoring is generally free in college, and the strategies and knowledge you gain will be invaluable. Usually tutors have taken the class you are currently enrolled in, and they are trained to get the best out of you. 2351a5e196
