Multiple math paths to where?
California’s proposed new math framework offers a “choose-your-own-adventure approach” that is “fundamentally flawed,” argue Jennifer Chayes and Tsu-Jae King Liu, professors of electrical engineering and computer sciences at Berkeley. Collegebound students could choose a data science pathway rather than advanced algebra and precalculus courses, they write. That will shut the door to STEM majors — including data science — in college. “We have seen firsthand how students lackin
