Have they taken things out or have they just shifted them around?
From our perspective (DD has completed through Algebra II) the answer is "yes."
While I realize that this isn't very helpful, it's hard to say exactly what has just been shifted elsewhere versus what has been omitted entirely. The cynic in me feels that it is a deliberate shell game being played in order to give the
appearance of greater competence while simultaneously making each course "more accessible" to struggling students, but I suppose it could be coincidental. Just.
