I suspect our district won't offer calculus of any sort after this change, but haven't been able to get any information about it yet. Very few of the high school students here seem to take calculus anyway, which concerns me very much.
Multiple people at multiple schools have told me that my daughter won't need accommodations because "common core is harder anyway." They have offered to work with us now that we've left the district, but I just don't know it will really happen, She's in a charter school now and working independently at her own pace, but the downside is that the way they do that is just by letting kids work through worksheets. It's really good for those who are behind and need lots of extra practice, but less helpful for those who are ahead. It gives a lot of practice in procedures but not depth in the theory. That's why we've started AoPS and are hoping the school will let her use it there.
Taekwondo has been great for my daughter as well...
