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?!

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]

How is it being rushed?  That makes no sense.  The issue is the quality of the class.  And, if you are in APP, you should be taking Algebra in 7th or maybe APP/advanced academics is not for your child. Mine started in 6th.  He's far happier on the fast track vs. the slowed down fluffy math he did before.[/quote]
