[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As usual, math-hating DCUM thinks higher-level math classes are unnecesary and just for bragging rights. How can we ever progress as a nation when people think this way?! [/quote] It’s not about progressing as a nation. Talk to a college math professor. Most will tell you this hyperacceration is not good for the kids’ learning. The basics are rushed. Most colleges require kids to re-take Calculus at their schools because their experience is that the kids don’t really know it, despite the AP, etc. what’s the rush did not bragging rights? I will admit that there are a few, very few, kids that are ready for “beyond calculus” in high school.[/quote]
