[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want him to develop a good foundation. This is not the end of the line. It's about making sure he has everything he needs to be successful in math. My husband had an A average in his electrical engineering major. I was more advanced than he was in math-he was not accelerated at all. It's a marathon, not a race. Nobody cares, but a few competitive parents whether your kid is in honors in middle school. If he wants to do STEM, what matters is he knows the material well and enjoys what he does so he can be in it for the long haul.[/quote] +1000 Whatever path he will follow, you want a strong foundation in Math. Because even if not a STEM major directly, the key to many jobs is an understanding of math concepts/stats and definately not a fear/hatred of anything math. Let him go at his own pace and who knows what the future holds. What we do know is he has a much stronger chance of liking math and having a strong foundation. [/quote]
