In Oklahoma, the requirement usually is up to “algebra 2” - this is mostly domain and range, finding roots of polynomials, and logarithms.
IMHO, the world would be better if calculus was a required part of the high school curriculum. Like yeah, most people aren’t going to need the product rule in day to day life, but the fundamental ideas about rates of change seem like they’re something that everyone human deserves to be exposed to.


Dunno about algebra 2, I took that class but don’t remember how synthetic division works and haven’t missed it. I’d replace it with some basic probability and logic for non-nerds. They don’t even have to be treated as math topics. More like: how to avoid some common mental errors. Lots of people don’t think mathematically and that’s ok.
Critical Thinking Skills should be an entirely separate class, required by every student to graduate.
