[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this is why American students can't compete with Finland, Korea, and Poland...low expectations. So how many children in those countries take Calculus BC at age 13?[/quote] I can't speak for "all those" countries, but in my eastern-european one everyone started algebra in 5th grade. And geometry as well. We did addition/subtraction in first, multiplication/division in second (had to memorize the multipl. facts the summer before), fractions/decimals in third, order of operations either in third or in fourth, and started equations and graphs in fifth. It's NOT complicated. I'm not gifted in math at all - trust me. But we didn't just have a "problem of the week" like my son does. We had 5-10 problems assigned to us every day. That's all it takes.
