[quote=Anonymous]Math achievement in the US is lagging behind its peers. And math education is the path to STEM careers. I am not sure what we need to do. But most countries have HS kids at advanced math levels if they plan to pursue STEM. They are also better at math than the average American student. This is true whether you are talking about a country like S Korea ir Finland who have very different educational philosophies. It is evident when you go into a graduate school class where you have a reasonable number of international students - they were just better prepared. So no, we can’t drop math acceleration because it would hurt us as a country. But we need more on ramps than just through acceleration. [/quote]
