[quote=Anonymous]I kind of regret having accepted our school's recommendation that my son accelerate in math. He is a straight A student because he works hard, but he is not a math whiz and is not at all interested in math or STEM for college. The demands of the higher level math courses have made him reluctant to sign up for other challenging courses that might have interested him more. We were told that the more selective colleges expect 4 years of math no matter how far you get, which means your student will be in the second year of calculus or beyond senior year. If you don't expect your kid to be interested in math at that level, I would not encourage acceleration. I know it is hard not to succumb to the pressure, though. DS is going to take Statistics senior year in lieu of the second year of calculus, and like the PP above I think that will be very useful for a number of future endeavors. [/quote]
