[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]algebra 1 is a good idea for most people. most folks don't really need most of algebra II for what they do in life, unless they are the 5% of the workforce in a STEM career. i just finished writing a report on this topic and this is the conclusion many in education are coming to. there is alot of other math we breeze by (statistics, ratio, proportion, technical math) that alot more people need on a daily basis because we are rushing our kids to take algebra II, which really prepares you for calculus. algebra II does serve as a proxy for good logics skills, etc...but so would a more useful math for most kids.[/quote] This sounds a lot like what the article author was proposing. Interesting read![/quote]
