2 + 2 = inclusive equity or something in Oregon “schools“.

The Oregon Math Project recommends that teachers reduce rules which that “imply that certain skills and knowledge are valued more than others” and instead prioritize the “rights of the learner.”

“What if instead we organized classrooms around ways to value one another’s ideas and learning?” a slide asks.

Traditional math education harms students’ sense of identity by “gatekeeping” math from students of lower ability levels, according to the modules.

“Society views mathematics as a valued and high-status subject,” a slide says. “Schools perpetuate this through the gatekeeping structures which control students’ access to mathematics.”

Homeschool your kids and prepare for a near-future country without systemic indoor plumbing.
