[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They really can’t get rid of taking calculus in highschool. Many colleges require ap calc for engineering majors— it would be putting Virginia highschool graduates at a distinct disadvantage for getting a stem degree. When I was in college, kids who didn’t take ap calc had to take a math class over the summer in college to catch up. They need to work with Virginia colleges/universities— you can’t have public school graduates not prepared to attend state schools.[/quote] I don't think they care. The website and video on the website are all about how calculus had been overemphasized and only a small share of college majors even require it. They want more kids passing the SOLs not more kids getting 5s on the AP exam for Calc BC and going on to become scientists.[/quote]
