[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Nope, that's not the reason for this. There's much more going on than tutoring, and you can go back and read some more examples I wrote up thread. No one is lowering expectations of students. They are just not making calculus the be-all-end-all of HS math education. There's so much more math that's needed for STEM jobs besides calculus nowadays. VA and the many other states making this change are modernizing to keep up with high demand STEM jobs and [b]what colleges and universities are telling them they need.[/b] [/quote] Do you have any citations for the bolded? I'm finding it hard to believe that and high demand STEM jobs and colleges are pushing this change, especially considering that data science is one of the fields that absolutely does require calculus and many post-calculus classes.
