Algebra really doesn’t need to be a standalone class.  I’m not sure that people really understand the proposal. [/quote]

It does if you're moving into or out of VA.  If you're a 9th grader who has had some amount of Algebra and Geometry content delivered piecemeal, and then you move somewhere with separate Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, classes, what would you take?  You'd either be repeating a lot of material or you'd be skipping a lot.[/quote]

Given that we have a lot of military families, this is an issue.[/quote]

You take the class that’s offered at your grade level and tutor or supplement. My spouse moved around a lot with his family oversees.  When he got back to the states in high school he had to repeat some things he’d already done. It happens. We don’t have uniform education across the country or the world. I definitely do NOT want VA to hold back on a better math education for o or kids because we are worried about it conforming with other states.[/quote]
