Let's see = what is today's status on education - and mathematics education - in Georgia.
1) We require 4 years of mathematics in high school. That will be Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, Math 4. Or maybe Math 1 with support and Math 2 with support. Or maybe . . . Let me get back with you on that.
2) We will teach Integrated math. After 7 years - or before we have anyone get all the way through anything with it - let's scrap it and go to common core.
3) We have a graduation test that is required for the seniors, modified for the freshmen - juniors and obsolete for the current 8th graders.
4) We'll let the juniors (sophomores and freshmen) substitute a passing EOCT for the grad test. Oh, we didn't release their freshmen math eoct scores 2 years ago? Let me get back with you on that.
5) We'll pay extra for national board certified - oops, only kidding.
This would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Oh, well, we're still better than Alabama and Mississippi. (And sadly, that last line is not original with me but the fall back position of most of the stupid positions the politicos take.)
