My original objection was twofold: (1) mathematics doesn’t streamline well, and (2) an arbitrary deadline forces good people to rush and make bad decisions. I can live with that since mathematics is scheduled for revision in 2023 anyway and there is near universal agreement that while our mathematics TEKS are strong, there are some places where we clearly need revision. This is an improvement over the original version that required all streamlining by 2022 ( see my blog post on HB663 here). HB663 requires TEKS revision (streamlining) and allows the SBOE to set a schedule to do so. Math Curriculum Bills HB663: TEKS Revision I’ll update this page or subsequent pages as things develop.
