[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of elementary school kids here. Can someone tell me why this matters at all if your kid doesn’t end up studying Math in college? Is starting algebra in grade 6 vs grade 7 or 8, or taking multi variable calculus in high school that big of a big deal or is it more of a nice to have?

It doesn't matter at all, particularly in private school.

In some public schools, being on the accelerated math track is the way to try to make sure you have a class schedule across the board with the higher performing students and not the kids vaping in the back of the classroom. In some very competitive high schools that do a "check the box" for most rigorous course load on college applications, it may make a slight difference on where you stand compared to your classmates. However, most college ADs will tell you they just want to see that you took calc in HS. That is college prep enough.[/quote]
