Read the linked article from last week. Data science as implemented in this program is probably not what you think. https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/california-needs-real-math-edu...


I read that. It was just as bad and didn't really explain it. My favorite part was when he told me how society teaches girls they're bad at math, linking an article that said nothing of the sort. Both of these articles read like Fox News pieces. Lot's of anger and non objective opinions. It's such a turn off. But there were some interesting bits too. I quite like the idea of making AP classes opt out instead of opt in. That could be done in conjunction with replacing algebra with data sciences. I don't really have an opinion on which is better for middle schoolers, but this article failed to make up my mind.
