It’s interesting to compare California elected officials reaction to rigor reduction plans in the taxpayer funded San Francisco Unified School District:
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie:
We owe our young people an education that prepares them to succeed. The proposed changes to grading at SFUSD would not accomplish that.
I have conveyed our view to SFUSD. We are optimistic that there is a better path forward for our kids and their future.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan:
I try to stay in my San Jose lane, but as a former East Side public school teacher I have to say — this is a terrible disservice to our students. Lowering standards does not help children. It hurts them.
———
Blue tape.

Seems like a good day to highlight the fact that Superintendent Su pulled her own sons out of SFUSD after middle school and put them into parochial high schools.
———
San Jose has an annual budget of approximately $3 billion and one city employee for every 112 residents, San Francisco has one city employee for every 21 residents. Despite having 125,000 fewer residents, San Francisco has more than four times the number of public workers.

Starting to realize that education polarization and the shift of rich people to the Democrats turned the entire Democratic party into a scheme to funnel donor money to useless people
