Algebra II is "vigorous"? Do they mean "rigorous"?

I took Calculus in HS. And Trigonometry. And Geometry. I started with Algebra II. And I went on to college as a Liberal Arts major because my math skills were nothing special.

Both of my sons had Algebra I in 8th Grade.

For some stupid reason, they then had to take Geometry their Freshman Year in HS, and then Algebra II as Sophmores. Seems out of order to me ...

My oldest is a Junior taking Calculus after he tested out of Probability and Statistics.. He'll have Trigonometry his Senior year. Youngest will be following same pattern.

I'd swear I remember taking Algebra I and II in Junior High ... hated Geometry in High School but loved Physics, Calc and Trig.

I took algebra I and II as a correspondence course when I was in the Army and I got straight A’s. I did not find the math that difficult.
