Debate 14 - Ditch Algebra 2
Manage episode 354911442 series 3300081
Let’s talk about Algebra 2! What is it? Why is it important? And most importantly, should we continue to require it? Plenty of high school students struggle in what we call Algebra 2, and many ask the question “when are we ever going to use this?” Some schools and districts now offer alternative pathways for students in their high school math options. So, that leads us to this month’s debate resolution: Ditch Algebra 2
