Ironically, California is so mismanaged and corrupted that many counties simple do not have gifted programs. Yeah, the 6th wealthiest state in the world couldn't afford a god damn gifted program, all the in name of so-called equity and inclusiveness. It's not the well-made families that get hurt. It is the families who try to make ends meet get hurt. Their kids are simply deprived the opportunity to continuously learn and get challenged. And for that, I won't forgive California's politicians and bureaucrats. It's also funny you mentioned that California will emphasize more on "applied math". I mean really? We're talking about high school maths. They are so simple and so fundamental that there shouldn't be a distinction between the applied and the theoretical. Teaching "applied maths" is simply a coded word for watering down the standard.
