[quote=Anonymous]Most engineering students enter freshman year with 1 or 2 years of calculus from high school. They may re-take calculus in college for reinforcement, but that class will be easier because they've already been exposed to the concept. Or they can not re-take the classes and go on to take higher level maths required for their majors and have more time to take elective classes, pursue a minor, etc. The US is falling behind the rest of the world when it comes to math achievement in K-12, why not accelerate the kids if they're ready? I took Algebra I in 7th grade 30 years ago in a rural district in flyover America, your kid can do this, it's not too advanced.[/quote]
