[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8th grade daughter's math teacher told the class that there was no point in taking calculus in HS if your not interested in majoring in STEM. I was under the impression that most selective colleges (top 30 and above) expected to see that a student took calculus irregardless of the intended major. Is her math teacher right? [/quote] There are only about 150 colleges that are snooty at all about what kids take in college, and probably a few hundred respectable colleges that just want to see a college prep curriculum college. I think the goal should be for your daughter to take classes that challenge her without being too stressful, then to find a college that fits who she is when she’s ready for college, rather than for her to go out of her way to mold herself to suit the colleges.[/quote]
