[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has zero to do with the math instruction at the schools. It is entirely about parents hoping to give their kids a competitive edge in the college rat race. It doesn't often work.[/quote] It has lots to do with the math instructions at the school. College prof here. Students math skill, like their literacy skills, just decline. Ans wir ihr math, it is hard to teach computational science and related engineering courses. If anyone thinks signing up for RSM helps with college admission they are delusional. I would argue it does improve confidence of some kids. And a deeper understanding of math and lots of practices are essential for careers in science and engineering. I do think US is behind stem education in k-12. [/quote]
