An algebra war has broken out in the top levels of government that could cause shock waves in middle schools across the state. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday urged the California State Board of Education to require that all eighth-graders be tested in Algebra 1. If the board agrees during a meeting today, it would mark a huge shift for California middle schools.

Two-track system -- Schwarzenegger agreed, saying in a letter to state board President Ted Mitchell that he didn't want "a two-track system: one for high achievers and one for those of whom we expect less."
