[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think your kid will want to pursue a stem related major, make sure they get on the honors math track by 9th. If seeking highly selective schools, Having rigor in math helps if applying for engineering, business, and other stem majors. I also don't think u need rigor in everything. Focus on your kids strengths and interests. And do very well in those areas. It worked for us. [/quote]

Take the most rigorous available at your school. Within reason, it really doesn't matter. At lots of super elite schools that means calc as a senior, and that is perfectly fine. Don't get caught up in the rat race of the people who think you absolutely have to take calc in the womb. Those schools are doing their students a disservice. No huge rush.[/quote]
I agree! At our private, the math honors track kids take calculus as seniors and these kids get into all the top schools schools. [/quote]

And they are not "bored." And they are actually usually smarter than the suburban public school kids taking calc in 9th or 10th grade whose parents have bumper stickers showing this off.[/quote]
