> SF school district has banned algebra in middle schools.
Surely there are some kids who don't learn it in elementary school. Are they supposed to wait until high school?

This was around 2000 and we didnt have internet at home yet. So there was nothing better to do. Little worried about future generations.
But this is really pathetic. to ban algebra. I would leave the country.
If mathematics education at the pre-university level is a priority for you then I'm not sure that leaving the country is the best approach.
There are great arguments why you'd want to raise the average education level, but I think sacrificing the best minds to this cause is short-sighted.
