NOTE

Having everyone automatically opted in to advanced math was effective at reducing disparities.

Bob Moses believes that math is the next civil right. However, it's sad that Cambridge, Massachusetts has decided to no longer offer eighth-grade Algebra I. This move, similar to what happened in San Francisco, is a fake equity policy that doesn't improve outcomes. Instead, it forces parents and students to seek education outside the public system, leaving vulnerable students behind. Dallas, on the other hand, implemented an opt-out system for accelerated math, leading to significant improvements in demographic outcomes. It's crucial to prioritize a truly equitable public education system.
