While it seems obvious that some students should be redirected to remedial classes, the evidence is that very few students made it past those courses. IOW, the obvious solution wasn't working.

Being an engineer, my instinct would be to fix those classes so that they did work. However, legislators think at a different level and reasoned that the remedial classes constituted a false promise that costs students dearly (time, money, hopes, and dreams).

The sticking point is that there is a big difference between theory and practice. We end up with elimination of 8th grade algebra in SF, abandoning graduation requirements in Oregon, the Chicago teachers union tweeting that "testing is white supremacy", promoting kids before they have achieved grade level performance, political indoctrination in classrooms (both parties do this), dividing kids into identity groups (oppressors and oppressed), promotion of whole language learning over phonics, and active attacks on the concept of merit.

People hardly ever use this tool. That suggests that there isn't much of a need for a frozendict.

* Processes do this right out of the box. * Threads only do this on Python's new GIL builds. * Async, not so much.

The UserDict class is mostly defunct and is only still in the standard library because there were a few existing uses that were hard to replace (such as avoiding base class conflicts in multiple inheritance).

I agree with you but that article itself says, "for example, handwriting can lead to widespread brain connectivity."

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Next, it would be great if published standards were freely available. It is astonishing to me that they are not.

The template object itself could not be formed because the each name must be a visible variable name.

This is the same error that you would get with an f-string that contained an undefined variable name.
