Annual U.S. self-flagellation over PISA test scores

<p>I think this is your point of confusion. There is no “one math”. I’m not sure why you are equating CC to this, it is just a set of standards, not curriculum. CC has nothing to do with science course sequencing, that has been in place a long time. If anything CC advocates using more science problems in math to help students grasp the connections.</p>

<p>I have to agree with others that you did imply that students do not take biology, chemistry, or physics until 11 th grade and instead take a science “soup” course in 9 and 10. I don’t know of any district that offers that path, can you share a link to this curriculum and or school district?</p>

<p>My child attended a public high school and took biology, chemistry and physics before 11 grade. It’s not like its that unusual.</p>
