<p>Call me cynical, but I was at a conference where I heard science teachers in a Western state decrying what was happening to standards there. Seems that the Lege said kids must have four years of math to graduate. Rather than truly increasing rigor, they stretched Algebra out over three years for kids who couldn’t pass. So “four years” of math looked like Alg IA, Alg IB, Alg IC and Geometry. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Could that be what’s happening?</p>
