not all topics taught in a year of precalculus class are necessary for success in calculus. so a compressed course would have those topics that are necessary for calculus. >> today, that's what we were talking about earlier. what did you take, what sequence did you take in high school. >> same here. >> and i don't have this here because i was never seen -- but now we have these high achieving kids. we are taking algebra in the 8th grade and algebra 2 in the 10th grade and are they taking present e calculus in the 11th grade? >> most, yes they are. >> so we've kind of added an extra course anyway? in other words taking algebra in the 8th grade doesn't get you to calculus before 12-grade. >> not necessarily unless they take that compressed course where you take algebra 2 and precalculus combined. >> then they would be taking that in the 10th grade in the continuum i just described theoretically that's a lot of high achieving kids are taking now. okay, thank you. >> any other comments? i have a few comments on this. okay. first, so i think from my own personal experience i want

this is a push towards that and understand that algebra and precalculus is a very strong form of study, not just by us teachers but the wider math and college community. >> hi. my name is milan. i'm a tsa in the math department in san francisco and one of the people helping to develop this curriculum and support teachers in implementing it. but tonight i'm speaking to you as a parent. my son graduated from san francisco public schools. in fact he was in sole lay's class. my son if you remember that graph, he would have been one of the kids on the blue line. he was good at math and he scored well on test and did well in math class. what i want to talk about is the concerns of parents who kids do well in math now and whose kids don't do well in the new system. as my expertise as a math teacher, i'm thrilled about the common core, but knowing my son, it would have been infant stick for him to be in the heterogenous classroom where problem solving was the emphasis and defending once again the emphasis. i don't think he got as much as he would get under the new system and our charge is to m
