I asked a retired math teacher what we can do to fix education in Ohio & here’s what she said. My opponents think it’s controversial. Sounds like common sense to me.

The key to fixing public education is to bring back something we’ve lost: standards. If you can’t read by the end of 3rd grade, you shouldn’t move on to 4th grade. Make algebra competence the default before high school. Knowledge of U.S. civics should be a condition for graduation.

A teacher asked me last night whether merit-based pay would disincentive good teachers from working at schools where students perform poorly. It’s a good question & here’s what I told her to explain why it’s exactly the opposite.

San Francisco eliminated 8th-grade algebra in 2014. The stated goal: give minority students extra time to learn basic math. 8th-grade math proficiency in 2017: 51%. By 2023: 40%. It took a ballot initiative and a 4-3 vote to reverse it. Ten years. One generation of students. A measurable, documented decline across every group the policy was designed to help. This is what equity policy looks like in practice — not equal outcomes, just equally worse ones. The board just rediscovered that teaching algebra is how children learn algebra. That’s the whole story of liberal governance in one school district. So much for equity.

My daughter and I spoke to the SF Board of Supervisors about why the city should bring back Algebra in middle school. I let 6yo Lola Partovi decide for herself whether to come and what to say. What she said blew me away.

I was asked whether Republicans will accept the results of the election & here’s what I said: if Democrats win, we won’t baselessly allege foreign interference & launched a fake investigation that tears the country apart. That was the actual “threat to democracy” in 2016.

A teacher and U.S. citizen is detained by Border Patrol and asked about her legal status. Instead of answering directly, she responds with a history lesson, saying, “That’s what the brownshirts said in Germany.”
