[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math M isn't a new course, and isn't remedial.  It's functions and introductory calculus, which are college level calculus.  This is a section of the same course that meets 5 days instead of 3 so that kids can get more support while taking this college level class.[/quote]

"“What we thought was the best thing to do — instead of adding another course before MA — was to add more time and support into MA for students who would need it.”"

Previous commenters might be great at math but lack reading skills - or the willingness to actually read the article before blathering.[/quote]
dp.. One would expect Harvard caliber students to not need more "time and support" for " functions and introductory calculus".  A lot of high performing students take this type of class in HS.  If Harvard had not been TO, they could've weeded out people with weak math scores.[/quote]

Harvard has majors in Literature, Art, and Latin.

Sure, but Harvard used to only let in kids who where near perfect at everything (or really rich) and then those kids who were also great at math and science could major in Latin [/quote]
