Yesterday the Nebraska State Board of Education increased graduation requirements for math and science by one semester. The new requirements are 4 years of English, 3 years of Math, 3 years of Science, and 3 years of Social Studies.
These new requirements match the exisiting requirements at Bancroft-Rosalie in these subject areas, so it should not affect our school.
The only area I would like to see changed at B-R is in math. I would like to see the school require that students be enrolled in a math class all four years of high school. Skipping a year of math in high school can cause a student problems when they continue their education at a post-secondary institution.
I am interested in what B-R alumni feel about four years of math.
