In a one hour meeting, we never once discussed actual topics (scope and sequence) in the math curriculum.<br /><br />2. The person who will be in charge of the whole effort at this high school is - a new hire, who of course wasn't there and won't even start work until this summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
