[quote=Anonymous]I think it is really that math is the last vestige of tracking because it is easier to distinguish the topics taught at each level (geometry is different from alg II, etc). Also certain math classes are a prereq for certain science classes so there is a reasonable desire to get to calculus earlier. As others have noted, some districts have tried to get rid of math tracking (including briefly VA). At least in Arlington once kids are in high school, they just put the kids who were pushed ahead in math in classes with older kids, so the math classes are not harder than what other kids get - the advanced kids just see the material first.
