- Reporter's Notebook: Schools Exempted from Teaching Algebra
Four years ago, Governor Davis signed a law requiring that all California high school graduates complete a year of Algebra. No one was exempted-not kids with learning disabilities, not kids who didn-t know English, not -at-risk- kids at continuation schools. This year, the law was scheduled to go into effect, but the State Board of Education has been asked to grant waivers by 200 school districts. Joel Rubin is reporting the story for the LA Times.
