[quote=Anonymous]Re benefits for colleges, it depends on the college. AB Calc and BC are very different. (To the PP who said take Calc and then AB Calc, I don't think so .... Just one calc. before multivariable.) For elite schools, AB isn't very impressive; BC is moreso. I think a more imporatnt benefit than college entry *might* be that your child becomes more comfortable with math if he is challenged, and confident. That then could open up other worlds in science, e.g., AP Physics (for which you need calculus at least as a co-requisite). Depending on his school, your son might have options of taking other stuff his senior year if he takes Calc in jr. year. If he is psyched about all this, it may open worlds he might not have had access to before. FWIW, To me the whole "rushing" argument is used by folks who don't believe math is important.[/quote]
