Re: Is Algebra Necessary?
To graduate with a Michigan high school diploma, each student must have 4 credits of math, which includes:

1 full credit of Algebra
1 full credit of Geometry
1 full credit of Algebra II
and a math course (can be applied math, financial literacy, accounting, computer science, business related, etc.) as a 12th grader

Michigan defines a full credit as a learning experience which is a school year. It also allows for the math to be delivered in a Career Tech Education environment. Algebra II can be sequenced to be covered in two years, instead of 1.

Yes, this is tough - but it does not have to be delivered at "sit and get" in columns and rows of desks - but don't get me started on that!
