[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more thing to add: You mentioned most advanced students do AB then BC. I don't think that is the case for students who are advanced, where by advanced we mean they are good at math. Those kids don't take 2 years to relearn the same subject, they typically in high school do Alg2, precalc, calc, and multivariable (or whatever a school has for classes beyond math their senior year).

This just proves the whole HS math sequence is a joke

How many students actually skip Multi-Variable when in College answer almost none

In fact for math/engineering/science majors it is usually highly recommended to start with the first real Calculus I college class and not skip anything since almost all high school math course don't come close to actually being college-level

[b]HS should be like it was for us for the top students

Geometry 
Algebra II
Trig I guess that's what they call Pre Calc
Calculus AB[/b]

That's it period[/quote]

That is the standard MCPS pathway:

Yup and I would argue that's  more than fine for the vast vast majority

Maybe the advanced track for the top 1% not entire sections/classes

and again going to College almost everyone recommends starting with the first real Calculus courses for actual STEM majors

I would argue AP credit should only be used for non-STEM majors[/quote]
