[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Not the OP, but how important is it to take Calc in HS?  [/b]

OP I wouldn't worry for a second.  The Common Core math curriculum moves way to fast and without enough practice for my taste.  My kid also makes a lot of mistakes and it hasn't gotten better by grade 8.  Why push kids so hard?  If your DC can still stay on track why does it matter?  I personally would not want my DC taking Calc junior year unless they can take college Calc senior year.  This is what I did but I lived in a college town.  Here that seems more complicated.[/quote]

I was a statistics major in college. I had a lot of math in high school and even more in college. I took Calculus in HS. My school did not offer AP in the 1980s. So I had to take  Calc 1 in college. It was GREAT having already learned that material the year before.

Even my friends who were history majors had to take Calculus. (Not the same calc that math and engineering majors took, but it was still calculus.)
