Need more diversity!
It's really those damn foreigners' fault. Engineering wants more urms.
“We are 100 percent students of color in this district,” said Joe Frantz, director of curriculum and instruction for the Emeryville Unified School District. “And for these students, mathematics and science is the gatekeeper.”
Frantz said these districts face specific and unique difficulties. He pointed to the fact that 84 percent of black algebra students in the Oakland Unified School District scored below or far below basic state proficiency levels. Three percent met this standard.
Hmm. So, 84% were below the standard, while 3% met it. And 17% neither met the standard nor failed to meet the standard. Um. Well. I think I see where the weakness in math comes from.
