[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math teachers are asking this too. Anyone who tried to take an AP English class as a freshman would be laughed at, but we are pushing AP math to that level. No one would try to skip Spanish 2 and go from 1 to 3, but everyone tries to skip prealgebra and jump to algebra 1 earlier. I don’t know why we are only accelerating one subject.[/quote] And it's ridiculous to push so much. I'd rather have kids love math and do well in it. I know someone who graduated T20 in BME, got a full scholarship for MS from a T5 (in BME) and got into 3+ MD/PHD programs and ultimately choose one of the top. Guess what, that kid only Did regular Calc in HS. (and is only early 30s) Extremely smart, advanced in STEM yet didn't take college calc in freshman year of HS. Imagine that [/quote]
