Again, there was already a trend of students (1) falling off the advanced math track after alg2 in high school and (2) kids having to re-take calculus in college even after passing it in high school anyway.[/quote]

I would have liked to see data on this, because in my FCPS experience, there were plenty of advanced kids doing perfectly well on the accelerated track. Sure, I'm sure some kids are accelerated too fast, but is that really the norm? I doubt it.

Also, I'll note that as a senior I was advised to flat out by advisors to retake calc in college, regardless of how well one had done, saying it was important to do it over. I got a 5 on the BC exam and I learned the material *way* better than anyone I know who took it when they got to college, and was very glad I ignored the advice to retake calc no matter what. I'd be curious how many kids retaking calc actually needed to. [/quote]

Your implicit belief that only “advanced” student matter is hateful and tedious, and makes anything else you have to say completely worthless.[/quote]

Your response to this is a bit baffling. The point is that, if a large number of kids are doing well at a certain pace, why should you get rid of that class/pace because a few here and there don't do well? With that attitude, shouldn't we just call off this whole 'public education' thing because there's a few kids who don't pass/graduate?[/quote]
