California will no longer require eighth-graders to take algebra ? a move that is line with the Common Core standards being adopted by most states, but that may leave students unprepared for college,?The Daily Caller reports.
Last month, California formally shifted to the Common Core mathematics standards, which recommend that students delay taking algebra if they aren?t ready for it. Previously, algebra class was a requirement for all eighth-graders in the state.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative, which is sponsored by the National Governor?s Association, is an effort to unify diverse state education curricula. Forty-five other states and the District of Columbia have signed on so far.
Sounds like "core" inflation.
