[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So students will have to go out of their way to take calculus. It will not be possible with a normal workload. Go ahead and try to make a schedule. Before students could take Algebra 1 in 8th, Geometry in 9th, Algebra 2 in 10th, Precalculus in 11th, and Calculus in 12th. One math class a year, nothing extra.[/quote] I don't think they care. They say that not everyone needs to take calculus in high school. That's undoubtedly true, but it doesn't mean that many kids would benefit from taking it (I did, even though I didn't "need" it for my college major or grad school or career) and it shouldn't mean that it's so much more difficult for kids who want to take it to do so. That's leaving aside the significant number of kids who now are able to take post-Calculus courses in 12th. Apparently they don't want anyone to be able to do that.[/quote]
