[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest thing is math placement. If you don’t get into an advanced track early on, you probably won’t be able to take AP calculus in high school, which is a problem if you want to major in STEM. It also matters when it comes to extracurriculars like sports, music, or STEM competitions. It’s extremely hard to do well in those activities if you don’t start early well before high school[/quote] It was something like third grade that my sons math teacher recommended accelerated for the next year. I had no idea that determined what science class he would take in 9th. Think of parents who didn't help their third grader with math homework and they were just on the borderline, so went on level, or one lower in 9th grade. One thing. Colleges offer algebra and calculus. It doesn't need to all happen in high school, unless you want those few slots in the most selective schools.[/quote]
