Re: The perfect math curr - Start at removing items

    Correlation is not causation. Students with the academic discipline to
    successfully go beyond algebra 2 bring that same academic discipline to their
    college studies - hence the high rate of success. Success beyond Alg2 is not the
    cause of a higher rate of college success, IMO, they are both effects of another
    cause - academic discipline.
