Speaking of algebra, I came across this website recently - The Algebra Project.
What's on your mind?

From SPS:
Families,
The Seattle Education Association (SEA), which represents teachers, rejected the district's latest contract proposal. They plan to meet again on September 3 to vote on whatever the proposal is at that time.
With the start of school on September 4, we are encouraging families to develop back up plans should Seattle Public Schools not open on time.
We realize the impact a labor strike would have on our families. We are working with child care providers and the City of Seattle to develop options for your students in the event school is not in session on September 4. Those resources, along with other information, will be posted tomorrow at www.seattleschools.org. We will send you additional messages as new information is available.
Again, we are working to reach an agreement with teachers, but it is possible that school will not start on September 4. Please visit www.seattleschools.org for additional information.
Thank you for your patience and support during this time.
Seattle Public Schools

It does not make sense to choose the most time consuming and error prone method to transfer information. I don't know if the new vendor had a fabulous sales presentation or what to convince the IT decision makers to take this approach.
