Indian parent in Bay Area here and my 3rd grader loves math and is already into logarithms and enjoys learning these concepts.
After going through these articles, I’m concerned to say the least. Are there any resources or groups that I can part of to counter this - what I think will be dumbing-down of the next generation?
What are some practical steps to take other than just fleeing this environment?

- doggodaddo78 5y agoMy parents put me in a private school for K-3 for this reason. But then threw me in public school for 4th grade because my dad wanted to buy more audiophile equipment. I was constantly ahead of the public school material for 5 grades. In high-school, I took the SAT-I without studying and aced the math section. (Plot twist: I was white and not rich amongst mostly rich white and Asian students.) On a tangent, I had to decline a roommate because he expressed "the scientific method is racist." That was it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
- threatofrain 5y agoPrivate mentoring is a better use of money than private school, IMO, as Bay Area public schools are pretty decent and will send a good amount of kids to elite colleges.
- innagadadavida 5y agoThe way I see it, this system will soon spread from public school policy to community colleges, state universities, to all the way to private colleges. It’s just a matter of time and it would be better to start now to find a way to get some representation for the taxes we pay.
