[quote=Anonymous]Let's just put it this way: If DCPS were to stop it's math curriculum at Algebra, they'd basically be driving the final nail in their coffin. Even the handful of successful schools in DC would rapidly fail because parents would realize all the more what an irrelevant dead end DCPS schools are to them and how much they will fail to meet their needs. More and more parents would pull their kids out of DCPS schools and instead send them to charters, privates or move out and go to suburban schools. Educated parents know better. Educated parents know that higher math is needed in the professional world, that it's needed for graduate school admissions exams, and so on. DCPS schools would become increasingly segregated, ultimately becoming 99% low-SES and AA, and all who attend DCPS schools would be condemned to a lousy and limited future that will come with low income, low quality of life, and plenty of heartbreak.[/quote]
