Right now, if students are motivated they can test out of Algebra 1, Geometry, or Algebra 2 to advance faster. I don't see any prohibition on letting students test out of these math classes to advance faster either. Is there?
The main difference is whether we spend an entire year on just geometry and then never bring it up again. Or whether we introduce a few mathematical concepts like data analysis, model development, and probability as students are learning these concepts. I don't see how this is an inevitable "watering down the curriculum." If there is language prohibiting students from advancing faster, then yes I think that is a problem. Including these concepts in the curriculum, in my opinion is good.
