[quote=Anonymous]Why do all kids need calculus to go to college? Why should more than 20% of students be in advanced math? I did calculus in HS and found it completely useless for me in life, and I went on to medical school. Don't assume that a bright kid can't be adequately prepared for life despite going through DCPS. Their future chances for success have more to do with many factors outside of school. And whether they go to Sidwell or Wilson, 99% don't get into Harvard (and yet, may succeed). About 20% of Hardy 6th graders are in advanced math, but that is a rapidly increasing number because it is a rapidly changing school. Next year, probably 30% of 6th graders at Hardy will be in 7th grade math, and in a few years, it will be similar to the distribution at Deal. Those who choose to go to Hardy now have to be comfortable being the change we want (I am willing to do so). [/quote]
