How do I square this with their claim that the CMF is "placing obstacles (such as doubling-up, compressed courses, or outside-of-school private courses) in the way of those who want to take advanced math in higher grades."?
- weeblewobble 5y agopretty easily, I think. even taking the claim as given, "placing obstacles" is not the same as "forbidding"
- csee 5y agoThis is semantics, no? Couldn't the obstacles be so large that it's practically the same as forbidding? When I read "they're not forbidden", I take that to also mean that there's few new obstacles.
- nickff 5y agoThis is a classic tactic. How many trees do you need to make a forest? How many pebbles make a dam?
- sct202 5y agoTo get around the obstacles most kids will need a very motivated parent who can advocate for them with admins, and that basically will just harm kids who's parents don't have the time/resources/charisma to make it happen for their kid.
