[quote=Anonymous]NP, to the question about Algebra 2, regular vs intensified -- 4 or 5 years ago at YHS Academic Planning night, I heard from someone reputable (hazy memory but maybe the department head) say that Intensified Algebra 2 is the hardest math class. As for pathways, as of last year, the normal pathway out of regular Alegebra 2 is Algebra 3, not precalc. As I recall, a student could go straight to precalc from regular Algebra 2 with an A(?) and teacher recommendation(?) and/or by doing a special math packet that had to be completed before the end of the year, the idea being that this would prepare the student for precalc. YHS staff seem to have learned the hard way that accelerated middle school math leads to problems for many students in high school.[/quote]
