[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are large numbers of kids tracked into such advanced math classes in high school? It is rarely useful career wise anymore, even in STEM fields. Plus, they have plenty of time in college to take relevant math classes. [/quote] Parental bragging rights[/quote] Nope--we want our kids at the level they need to be challenged and learn. When your 3 yo is "helping with" their older siblings 1st grade math and knows 75% of the answers and loves the word problems, do you tell them "nope, that's above you, go back to counting" or do you encourage them to learn more math and problem solve?
