[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this is caused by the insanity that is college admissions. Parents are afraid that if their kid isn't on the highest math track, their kid will have a much harder time with college admissions. So, this leads to parents pushing their kids into Algebra when the kids aren't ready. It also leads to parents wanting to restrict other kids from accelerating to make their kids look better in comparison. If parents felt confident that high stats kids in 12th grade calculus would still have a good shot at UVA, VT, or W&M, there would be much less incentive to push their kids into a math track that isn't appropriate for the kid. [/quote] There only one fix for 10% of parents insisting on being in the elite 1% , or whatever the exact numbers are: ignore them. No one is entitled to be whatever that person imagines is elite.
