[FRIAM] So who needs math?

[Angel Edward]

Having graduated from one of NYC’s special high schools, I’ve been following the debate in NY and San Francisco from a long time. What strikes me as a resident of NM is just how far from the core of the problem both sides are. Here is Santa Fe, the math proficiency of students is 18% and that’s in the top 50% state-wide.  The reading proficiency is 30%. At the same time the SFPS advertise its high graduation rate.
