[quote=Anonymous]"And you want your engineers and physicists to be fluent in math. My kid (a billion APs, high GPA, 1550+ SAT) is going into a stem field and I insisted she take AB and then BC. I wasn’t convinced that pre-calc was firm because of COVID even though she did fine in the class. I thought that the fundamentals need to be strong so she can really use math as a tool well into the future. Oh and I taught math heavy grad classes as a prof. It’s better that kids really understand this stuff rather than trying to show off to some college counselor." Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Current STEM-field professors we know are telling us that their students are struggling with math - they do not seem to have a strong fundamental understanding - they never learned things during the covid years and they are really suffering. Better to grasp and understand the topic and be prepared for the the college experience. [/quote]
