Re: [POSSIBLE SPAM] urgent question that needs a response

We offer a 2-year program for our weaker students in Integrated Algebra and a 2-year program for them in geometry as well. Many of the weaker students stop after the first year of the 2-year geometry program.

I am curious--what would you offer the weaker students as their third year of required math?

Our new Principal has decided that beginning in Sept. 2011, our school
will only offer one type of Integrated Algebra Course. In other words,
there will be no 1.5 year program or 2 year program for Integrated
Algebra. By the way, all SPED students are also expected to take the 1
year program. There are absolutely no exceptions! And...the same thing
is being done for Geometry as well.

So my question for you is this: Does your school offer only one level
of Integrated Algebra for ALL students in the building? What do you think
of this plan?

I'm sorry, but I need responses quickly because we are supposed to run
next year's schedules later this week.

Thanks in advance!!!

Jim
