Blog Eight

I disagree with my classmate’s blog titled, “Changing goals (blog stage 7).” Algebra II should be required for all high school students. As my classmate mention many students will drop out of school because some students think it will be waste of time taking algebra II, while they can take other class or could be working. First off, I think students drop out of school because they simply don’t like school, I don’t think algebra II is a reason for students to drop out. Many students now a day they still don’t know if they want to keep going to school to pursue a degree in math/science  all they want to do is graduate at least from high school and get their diploma. In the other hand, what will happen if they want to continue college later on in life? Will they have to take algebra II? Or just go straight to college algebra? I think keeping Algebra II will be the best decision for all students to have the same core class requirement regardless on their plan for the future if they decide to go to college after a few years. In conclusion, the education system should keep the same requirements; it would not hurt any student to gain any extra knowledge.
