San Francisco's Woke Math Scheme BACKFIRES On Minority Students. In this video, I explain how the SATs and standardized testing are not racist. San Francisco implemented a program to address racial achievement gaps in math outcomes in 2015.
The city decided that high-achieving students, who were disproportionately Asian, were getting a leg up on other races because they had access to advanced math courses in Middle School. To prevent the gap, San Francisco took away the ability for any student to take Algebra 1 in middle school. A new study shows that the program was a disaster, with Black and Hispanic students scoring about the same as or lower than the typical fifth grader in the state in effect showing that they learned a grand total of nothing in six years of schooling. While nothing changed for Black, Hispanic, white, and Asian students, the only people who really suffered were the parents of high achieving students who both got billed at local and state tax level and had to pay more for private schooling.
