[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids at Blair, RM, Wootton, and Churchill public schools routinely have taken such high advanced Calculus courses and differential equations prior to 11 th grade in the area public schools.  I know a couple on the math USAMO teams.  What’s the big deal here?  All those power hitting high GPA kids are no longer deserving?[/quote]

Same. Multi, linear eq, diff eq by junior year. Common at our public.[/quote]

Good for them.  Won't help. Up to BC with good grades is all the good schools want.  Anything more can also be a negative if they are not involved in a lot of activities especially varsity sports showing they are well rounded.   [/quote]

Agree. And I will take it a step further to say that any calc at all is all you need. Taking calc as a sophomore or whatever really isn't impressing anyone, and it is just setting your kid up for failure.

We purposely turned down a very elite magnet school to send our kid to private school to avoid the pressure to take calc as a sophomore, 15 APs, not have a lunch period, and whatever else. Yes, I am extremely privileged to be able to afford to do this. But people really need to chill.[/quote]

You are making stuff up. Of course they have lunch and ap classes are normal for smart kids.  That is why we did not go private.  It’s dumbed down with rich bragging parents. [/quote]
