Headline in my local paper; The Californian, July 10.
The night before the governor's appointed board of education was to
vote on the elected Sup of Ed.'s proposed test, the Gov. issued a
letter recommending a "full" algebra test. O'Connell's would have
measured only some algebra stds. [Only one of the appointees
"bucked" the Gov.]
My experience is that some students are not mature enuff for algebra
and only a pre-algebra should be offered in the 8th-grade.
Any comments, please?
bc thinks this is an RH invite.
