[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look in the mid-late 80s I left HS with Algebra 2. That was considered a monumental fail at the time. I went to a Russell Group UK university and have 2 post-graduate degrees I picked up thereafter.

But my kids are now in public HS and the idea that AP Calc AB is the baseline for HS graduates has been drummed into us parents, and it's kind of difficult for me to see past that.[/quote]

It's been drummed in by other parents in the gossip chain. Colleges, meanwhile, are moving toward preferring stats, because (a) it's more useful for non-STEM, and (b) they see that students come in with calculus credit but performing poorly in next level calculus. [/quote]

Actually it has been drummed into me both by a dear friend who attended Harvard and a consultant who attended Brown. I think they are on to something...[/quote]

Is this joke response?  This folks know no more than any other parent responding here and likely less if they don’t have a kid who applied to college in the past two years.[/quote]
