[quote=Anonymous]With the current standards in the state of MD, many kids who go to college need to take remedial math, so the standards they were exposed to didn't even prepare them for community college. The Common Core standards for high school seem to be pretty basic -- algebra, statistics, geometry. http://www.corestandards.org/Math There's no trig, precal, calculus. I assume advanced students with a serious interest in STEM would be accelerated at some point to study precalculus and perhaps calculus before graduation, by taking AP classes. But there's no need for the majority of students to take those classes in high school -- not even for a career in business of finance. If they need the coursework they can take it in college.[/quote]
