[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who takes Algebra I in 6th grade? Doogie Howser? School has really gotten insane since I was in school in the 1990s. If you were on an accelerated path you took Algebra I in 8th instead of 9th so you could take Calculus your senior year in high school. This is what I did, and I have a Ph.D. in science! Things must be tough on kids today.[/quote] This is still the expectation from college/university. No one is expected to be taking multiple levels above Calc1. This is the race created by parents trying to make their kid stand out and now folks think it’s a requirement to be competitive when in fact it’s not. Meanwhile, some colleges have started giving advance standing instead of credit which could be worthwhile in some circumstances, but for many it’s just a race to nowhere.[/quote]
