New York City public schools are updating a controversial math curriculum after the teachers union raised concerns about a lack of prerequisites — the second time since Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos took over the system that she has loosened such a requirement.
In a memo Wednesday obtained by the Daily News, Aviles-Ramos announced up to two weeks of flexibility for schools to move through the curriculum initiative, known as “NYC Solves,” at the pace of their students.
