[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair STEM parent here. What is the point of being in such a hurry with Math classes? Is it just to avoid taking these classes in college? I know it doesn’t really help in college admissions. I am just trying to understand this…no judgement. [/quote]

Former Blair magnet parent here. It depends on the child. Our child took a lot of math but no extra bio and chem. It provided a strong foundation for college, and they enjoyed it. It may have helped college admissions to show a rigorous schedule, but one never knows. Most importantly, our child ENJOYED the classes.

When they got to college, they took AP credit for one year of calculus. Our child wanted to test out of multivariable and differential equations, also, but we strongly urged them to retake those classes. College was hard enough to adjust to after the pandemic without pushing the envelope on math![/quote]

DP.  Ours was similar.  Did test out of mvc/de in college, enrolled for linear, but then moved up to abstract because it was too redundant.  Another functions/linear classmate did stick with linear in college. Worked well for mine to move ahead because she wants to double major, and it made sense in the problem sets. But, the key is loving the math you're in. What you do with it in college is a different thing.[/quote]
