[quote=Anonymous]OP agree most counties start integrating math concepts in elementary school and produce students who perform much better in math. Unfortunately, the US education is wed to teaching what I refer to as chapter book math (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trig, Calculus) because “education professionals” don’t feel kids are ready for abstract thought until middle school. Algebraic concepts can and should begin in preschool, geometric concepts as well. There is absolutely no reason why gifted kids should not be able to handle Calculus by MS. Unfortunately, those who administer education in this country are quite frankly not the best and brightest. [/quote]
