[quote=Anonymous]I think that culturally, a lot of private schools are run by humanities types who prize the humanities and arts over math and science. And until pretty recently, most parents either didn't care or were like that, too. I attended a few boarding school information sessions last year, almost none of which mentioned math or science, and in answer to a question about accelerated math, an admissions rep said, "well, we aren't as concerned about kids learning a lot of calculus as we are at kids being able to participate in sports and theater and be their whole selves..." I thought it was interesting, as a parent who is actually pretty interested in her kid learning calculus.[/quote]
