[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious: Do VA, MD and DC public schools require Algebra II as the minimum for HS graduation? If that’s the case, it’s too much. California requires Algebra I as the minimum for HS graduation, but that requirement is under review by the state education officials. That requirement was imposed decades ago and reflects institutional racism. They are thinking about getting rid of that requirement. In some respects they have a point: why require algebra I when your career goal is to be a hair stylist? Arithmetic should be required for HS graduation though. [/quote] MD requires Algebra 1, Geometry, and a math course every year to fill out the 4 years. Instead of asking why a diploma requires passing (not mastering) Algebra 1, consider asking why a hair stylist needs a high school degree. World History? English literature? Physics? [/quote]
