[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares about acceleration? I was a top student in Europe, as was my husband, who got a phd from Stanford in a stem field, and we never got any acceleration. What nonsense.

If you want acceleration get a tutor. And I doubt your kid really needs it.[/quote]

People like the posters above perpetuate the low expectation cycle in DC if you think calculus in high school is the highest you should go.

Also PP who went to Europe is living like it’s 1980’s or 1990’s. I was a top student too and calculus was the top progression.  But then is not now.  The top kids now are not topping out at Calculus in high school.  The majority of STEM majors entering the top colleges have taken math courses past calculus.

Lastly, there are kids who need math past calculus.  They have the aptitude and want it, actually crave it.  In addition, this is offered at almost every high school in the burbs outside of DC.  [/quote]
