trempdig··on Separating gifted children hasn't led to better achievement
I did not. However, her continued attacks on real science did upset me enough to make a new account to comment (I forgot my old password). But if I had made an anonymous account to bash her it would make sense, considering the irrational rabid behavior of her fan base that ignores all of the reproducible studies in favor of her feel-good frauds.

The author has accomplished everything she wanted. She’s used faked science to push her agenda and sell a lot of books along the way. Because of her progressive credentials, anyone who questions her gets skewered by an army of 2nd grade teachers who eat up the pseudoscience. She’s the math version of “The Secret”.

She does absolutely nothing to dispute the points they made about her actual research. It’s ad hominem attacks on her critics and pointing out her own credentials. She’s never refuted any of their attacks on her work itself, because she knows her work can never be replicated.

The author of this article is an academic fraud who makes unsubstantiated claims in everything she does. Jo Boaler has an agenda without the data to support it, and her lies are used to support structural changes to school programs. Instead of responding to critics with facts and information, she just calls everyone who criticizes her a “bully”.
