Honestly, we need to restart the statistics for students who get to Calculus starting with this years 6th graders and track them. The deficiencies are scrutinized with the low income issues from closure and online education. We could not be as equitable during that time. How many teachers actually went to their students homes during Covid? Or held tutoring at the library? It wasn’t an expectation to meet equity. Covid learning was survival learning. We need to look at the future students and make sure they get enough practice to build their confidence to continue to higher math.

Not everyone needs Calculus, but more students need statistics.

CO only requires 3 credits of Math to graduate. The number of students that expect to excel in college or even community College, without a 4th year of math is beyond ridiculous. Then again, we have entire generations of people who openly say "I can't do Math" while they wouldn't DREAM of admitting that they can't read. Those ideas trickle down to their children and the cycle repeats itself and is very difficult to break when I get them as 10th or 11th graders.

You finesse the grades to help students pass, you are not helping students, you are giving them a false sense of security of their skills. The stats don’t lie majority simply don’t have the basic math skills to go to upper level math. You let them skate by 6-9th with little to no computation skills I don’t understand that you actually expect them to go to calculus.

If you fill calculus with underperforming students to meet “equity” you are humiliating them.
