[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know how to properly use Logits, Probits, Regressions, and can run simultaneous equations with the best of them. I know the diagnostic tools to run, what questions to ask to use the best fit and most approrpiate method, how to correct various issues. I never had calculus and I cannot do the proofs for the various probability distributions and applications but I can still understand the stats and how to use them properly.

There is a lot you can do in this world without calculus.

DS is on track for Algebra in 7th grade and will take Calculus and other advanced math because he loves math. He loves the competitions and he wants to do math. Which is great. More power to him.

There is already a math track that includes data and stats that is not Calculus based so I am not so certain why we need to adjust this. Maybeit is more about adjusting parents expectations and how we guide students then changing the existing tracks.[/quote]

So you have never taken calculus? Or taught HS math? Or college math?

Just how familiar with the curriculum and pathways are you? And how are you able to meaningfully gauge how well the curriculum meets the needs of various students?
