[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 5 years they are going cite the absolute failure of 10th grade Calc AB after skipping honors geometry and algebra content, and then cancel the whole thing.[/quote]

What exactly is "honors geometry" and "algebra" content? You mean Honors Algebra 2? I don't think there's any differentiation before then. Just trying to understand (I'm pro-tracking and my kids actually tended to complain that the compacted track was still too easy -  would prefer enrichment to acceleration, but that doesn't exist before Honors Algebra 2.)[/quote]

Integrated Math  1 and 2 is a stripped down version of Alg 1, Alg 2 and Geometry, removing content to save time (3 year -> 2 year) , not accelerating[/quote]

That's the knock supposedly against compacted math, that it skips over material, but that's literally what they're changing to later on. And I would argue skipping/rushing over algebra and geometry is more detrimental than going through elementary math quickly.[/quote]
