[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC schools are not advanced in math because the boards are mostly lawyers and DC business randos who have limited mathematical education. And in general very little intellectual curiosity. They do value writing and hard work, though. What people in the DC area perceive as advanced math, particularly in private schools, is just a joke in SF and Boston. Although the teaching can be excellent.[/quote] Yes, but what people in the DC area perceive as advanced math is miles ahead the Midwest. I'm outside of Chicago on the wealthy East side off the lake and we've noticed that standard grade level math is a full year behind standard grade level math in Virginia. There is no acceleration or even leveling until 5th or 6th grade, so we don't have 7th graders taking Algebra.[/quote]
