From the new Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools:
> All students deserve powerful mathematics; we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents... The push to calculus in grade twelve is itself misguided... An important goal of this framework is to replace ideas of innate mathematics 'talent' and 'giftedness' with the recognition that every student is on a growth pathway... There is no cutoff determining when one child is 'gifted' and another is not.
- gnicholas 4y agoI thought they pulled back the "reject ideas of natural gifts and talents" in the most recent draft, after massive public outrage?
