[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post is giving me anxiety, my kids are in elementary. So are you saying that we should invest in math tutors?[/quote] The one piece of solid advice I can offer is that A kid who is not at least in pre-algebra in seventh grade is going to have a hard time with college admissions. [b]Most competitive schools want to see calculus on the transcript[/b]. There are 4 classes between calculus and pre-algebra algebra, geometry, algebra-2and pre-calculus. Once you’re off that track it’s pretty hard.[/quote] This was true over 20 years ago, when I was applying to college. Anyone who had any academic ambition was at least taking calculus in senior year. I did, and I wasn’t even a math person or at the top of my class. [/quote]
