[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pro having [i]a[/i] track that doesn't assume all kids need to take advanced math. The push for earlier and earlier Algebra I and every kid taking Algebra II is silly. I work in computing and don't use Algebra II in my every day life (though I took advanced math in college and could still use it if I needed to). [/quote] Creating a standard track that wouldn't get kids prepared for calculus in college would be detrimental because kids could be derailed from being able to pursue a STEM major or attend a competitive college based on choices made in middle school, before they've even taken high school science classes (which IMO are far more interesting that elementary school science). In the US we generally don't allow kids to self select for a trade school path so early. [/quote]
