A federal judge has ruled that a policy barring California teachers from informing parents about students' gender dysphoria signs is not moot, despite a recent change in state education guidelines. The policy change does not eliminate the plaintiffs' claims, which argue that the rule has a "chilling effect" on their rights.

She argues that traditional math education often prioritizes procedures over deeper understanding, leading to a sense of disconnection and overwhelm among students. To address this, Scott emphasizes the importance of community and dignity in math classrooms, where students feel valued and their ideas are welcome. Her work involves helping teachers develop a stronger grasp of math concepts and creating activities like "visiting" Planet Pent, which uses a base-five counting system to help teachers reconnect with the challenges of making sense of numbers. Scott believes that research shows everyone can be good at math with the right support and effort, and she aims to empower elementary-level teachers to provide this support.
