[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course. American schools are very behind. We tutor in math mostly. [/quote] So at age 17 what level of math have kids in other countries reached? Is differential equations really so far behind the rest of the world?[/quote] I would say that most 17 year olds aren't taking differential equations. It seems to me that most people think Calculus 1 and Stats is a high level of achievement. I know most Blair magnet kids will take differential equations, but I'm not sure if it even offered at non-magnet schools. The graduation requirements are Algebra I and Geometry and passing a state test on Algebra I. I would suggest that this level is "that far behind the rest of the world", especially considering that my understanding of how MCPS algebra is watered down, is probably less thorough than an Algebra class in most countries.[/quote]
