Count... down to Election

CONGRATULATIONS TO ANN HSU, LAINIE MOTAMEDI, AND LISA WEISSMAN-WARD — OUR NEW SFUSD BOARD OF ED COMMISSIONERS!!! @recallsfboe

...15 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION!

Moo deng is never dry or calm😭

We need strong, steady leadership on the Board of Education and stability in SFUSD—not a roller coaster of chaos and dysfunction. We need transparency and meaningful engagement from the Board of Education, not more behind-the-scenes maneuvering. My full statement:

Amid all the #SF School Board drama, effectiveness often comes down to listening to & communicating with families. We need more of that. We need Supryia Ray for School Board. #parentendorsed ⁦@SFParents⁩ ⁦@SFDemocrats⁩ Learn more at RayForBOE.com

@sjeqthfc_fan @BluebirdRave I heard ableist language.

@BluebirdRave If anything, it is great to see people making during a COVID surge.... I hear anti mask language in those comments.

@MarkChubb3 @deborah_ball I cannot imagine researchers or theorists in any other field of study refusing to look at why their proposals don't bear fruit.

10/10 . . . and then how no one with their name involved actually appears to have checked the references either is pretty wild. I'm totally down with Brian Conrad's suggestion from the data science comments -> Just start over.

9/10 Like the old "40% to 8%" claim - if you could eliminate differences in knowledge between groups in 4 fifteen minute sessions, that would be incredible, and really important to learn more about. Right?

@zeelurker1 @cheesemonkeysf @jfenster @joboaler @EdSource Her personal spokesperson used to be a Fox News producer, so...

@cheesemonkeysf @jfenster @joboaler @EdSource It would not surprise me at all if Boaler is paying them to publish the op-eds. Her grift is worth millions to her.

Co-author @joboaler defends CA #mathframework & herself, calls for equitable outcomes for all students, end of animosity, in @edsource oped edsource.org/2023/lets-move…

San Francisco folks, despite new awareness of the harms of cueing, there’s no indication from SFUSD *YET* that the practice will be eliminated from classrooms. New curriculum will not solve the problem. Talk w/ your school. Share this podcast. Don’t assume it’s fixed.

@cheesemonkeysf 👀

Boaler's defense is that she had not examined the numbers. Let's pause to think about that for a moment.

Wong Kim Ark’s son was detained for a month on Angel Island – despite his dad having won a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case. Wong Kim Ark’s descendants were at the celebration. They know freedom is fragile and must always be defended. 5/6

@stuartbuck1 @cheesemonkeysf Wow.

Lee actually got the neuroscientist in question to explain how Boaler had misrepresented his study:

A good long-read from Stephanie Lee, who did great work at Buzzfeed.

@JUST_Equations One of the big problems is that many students don't know in HS what they want to major in in college. In fact many students change their major one or more times when they are in college. College bound kids should get a broad education, including in a challenging math class.
