[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if this is starting in 2025, are they just going to make kids repeat concepts? My second grader will be starting 7th grade that year. If he's been in advanced math, working a year ahead of grade level, what's the plan? [/quote]

I believe it will be a gradual implementation, with your 2nd grader losing the option for asvance math fairly soon after the plan is adopted.

Somewhere says that full implementation for all grades is either 2025 or 2026.  The current 7th grade is the class of 2026.

Anyone 7th grade or lower needs to prepare to have a decimated math curriculum in the next year or two.

Another consequence is that a lot of the high school 9th and 10th grade math teachers will leave the profession if they have to teach Algebra and Geometry with all levels in one class.[/quote]

There won't be classes called algebra and geometry.  There will be integrated math 9 and integrated math 10, with the syllabus to be worked out.  It looks like they are planning to have topics from algebra and geometry in both classes, with maybe some algebra 2 and trig as well.  With all levels in once class, the teacher will probably have to either let the weaker kids fail or go really fast thru the harder topics or drop them entirely.[/quote]

Such a horrible idea by people who don't care about kids or education.[/quote]
