[quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing the previous posters putting down the American education system used to be TAs frustrated by teaching math to college students who complain about their accents! Seriously, linear algebra and calculus based statistics are pretty much all the math required for any undergraduate degree outside the math and physics department. No one needs to take them all in high school! Unless you know your DC is absolutely going to be a mathematician or physicist at age 13 or 14, what in the world is the rush? Let your kid take the time to learn the subject at a pace that allows for their developmental readiness. You might be able to grind a smart math-oriented kid through advanced college math in high school but you wouldn't leave enough social time to be a normal well-adjusted American teenager. And leadership and social skills are at least as important as technical skills in reaching the top of any org chart. [/quote]
