How many schools out there are on a block schedule? The elimination of a January Regents would definitely be a drawback to keeping our current semester setup.

The line that scares me the most is that they want to eliminate Jan and Aug exams.
Picture your students who try over and over to get that minimum score on the IA exam. Now they have to wait a whole year to try and pass again. Not a great plan! Our lives are going to be miserable b/c of this one line!!

Not all of our courses result in a Regents Exam. Students in those courses take
a departmental final exam.

Just because I am naturally curious, I would like to hear feedback on how math
departments would handle things if regents, with the exception of algebra 1,
were eliminated. Would there be finals created by each teacher independently?
Would a final for all the students in a grade be prepared by the math
department? What would happen to geometry and algebra 2/trig? Would it become
up to the schools to create a math curriculum? Does that mean we can bring back
business math? Answers and thoughts, please.

We have heard that this was in the wind. Look at theregents exams being
considered for elimination. That would make a hugedifference in how NY high
schools operate.

WOW! Lot's of proposed changes...and I'm wondering if thisisn't the death knoll
of regents. Maybe that wouldn't be the worst thingin the world.

In case you didn't know, see forwarded emailbelow. These cuts would have a
huge impact.
