[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do high schools offer so much college math? It seems like it hurts almost all of their students.[/quote] Why does it "hurt their students"? My one kid breezed thru AP Calc AB (junior) and took BC senior year. First time math was even remotely difficult (not a 99%+) was BC. They could have gone 3 years advanced in math, except we moved the year that transition would occur and we felt it was important for social and academic adjustment to keep them "2 years ahead" in math. Same kid breezed thru Calc 3&4 in college freshman year. Freeing up 2 extra Classes they can take towards their minor in CS to go along with their ENg major. So now they can get a Eng major and CS minor, study abroad for a semester and graduate in 4 years. For them, they would have been bored in regular level math---they were basically bored with the 2 year ahead. Why would you hold them back? [/quote]
