In 2020, in a communication about the parcel tax proposed then, the PAUSD Superintendent claimed parcel tax proceeds represented 17% of the PAUSD budget, when it was less than 7%. padailypost.com/2020/08/18/sch…
Does Palo Alto Unified (PAUSD) have a problem doing math? Its recent parcel tax (YES on B) mailer says “Don’t Mess with Success,” but look at the math pictured and performed on the whiteboard —- (a+b) squared —- can we call this result success?

Any comments on the correctness or incorrectness of this diagram, its notations, and/or its explanation? CA Math Framework (CMF) Ch. 3: Number Sense, pg. 30 (cde.ca.gov/ci/ma/cf/docum…).
SFUSD's 'reforms' were meant to achieve 'equity'. The number of African American students taking AP math exams fell from 27 to 3.
@mathillustrated @emtoh @kaskarn @karenvaites 4/5 When I was first studying the California Math Framework claims I came across this chart. Following the reforms in SFUSD, the number of African American students taking AP math exams went from 27 to 18 to 12 to 3.
In case you found (like us) that the link was broken to the complaint against Dr. Boaler for reckless disregard of accuracy, here is a link to a copy of the Boaler complaint: static1.squarespace.com/static/61ae93c…
“Education research is weak and sloppy. Why?” article prompts a revisit of Dr. Boaler’s claim of 2.8 school years math gains from a 4 week summer math camp.
1/8 or so. This article has been showing up in my feed quite a bit over the last few days. The one thing I spent a lot of time studying is the claim about 2.8 years of math gains from a 4 week summer camp. Below are just some of the details I found about that claim.
“Jo Boaler is a professor of education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, with an enormously influential body of work …. Her work got Algebra removed from middle schools across the Bay Area. It is some of the most incompetently or dishonestly conducted research I have seen in a decade as a journalist.”
Dr. Boaler’s youcubed newsletter, (mailchi.mp/youcubed/newsl…), says about the Science of Math (SOM) group, (thescienceofmath.com), “...they have stated that they are opposed to all that we know to be correct,” which includes SOM saying it is a myth that timed tests cause math anxiety. So it isn’t a myth? Dr. Boaler has repeatedly claimed timed tests cause math anxiety without evidence (youcubed.org/wp-content/upl…). She had to admit ‘a misplaced citation’ in the NCTM article (youcubed.org/resources/new-…). The new citation (Ashcroft 2002)) still doesn’t support her claim. So who is spreading the myths?
The YouCubed people seem unhinged. The science of math people have no math expertise? YouCubed just knows that these myths are actually correct? This is from a mass email from YouCubed.
“Having one core sequence… supports equity by creating one path for all students,” wrote Stanford Professor of Math Education Jo Boaler, justifying the removal to parents. Boaler, who’s built a career out of “reforming” math education in California, has been a vocal critic of “tracking” (placing students in classes that align with their skill level) and has provided the academic legitimacy needed to enact some of the most radical changes to education in the state. At the board meeting going over the removal of algebra, Boaler was even thanked by name.
From Piratewires: "SFUSD removed algebra from middle schools in the name of "equity." kids fell behind while achievement gaps remained. algebra's returning in september... but has anyone learned their lesson?" piratewires.com/p/algebra-is-l…
BTW Boaler also thinks using flash cards to learn math facts is harmful: hechingerreport.org/should-we-stop… Of course, @DavidMarguliesM and I disagree: edsource.org/2026/math-fact…
