Talk:Standards of Learning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] 4 subject areas?
The article states: "...the Virginia Board of Education approved Standards of Learning in four core content areas - mathematics, science, English, and history and the social sciences - and in computer technology." Now, I'm not a mathematician, but those are not "4 core content areas" - there seem to be 6. History and social sciences go together, and form one core area. I'm not sure about the history, but from my experience "computer technology" isn't considered a core content area, either. So, the sentence "...the Virginia Board of Education approved Standards of Learning in four core content areas - mathematics; science; English; and history and the social sciences" would work much better, and thats what I've put in. If its not correct, please change! ยป K i G O E | talk 21:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- As someone who graduated from a VA high school, there was no "Computer technology" core at the time. AFAIK, there is only physical sciences, mathematics, English grammar, and social sciences. Then again, I graduated in 2003, and a whole new crop of people are in the schools now // 3R1C 15:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
