[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the advantage of compact math? The only upside I see is that it potentially prevents kids who are already ahead in math from becoming bored reviewing concepts that they already know. Otherwise, what is the difference if most kids on grade level will still complete calc in 12th grade?[/quote] The advantage of compacted math is that it provides math acceleration for kids who want/need/would benefit from math acceleration. In my opinion, the goal of math education in K-12 is to learn math -- not to get to calculus at a specified time. Some kids won't be ready for calculus by the end of 12th grade, and that's fine; some kids will be ready for calculus before 12th grade, and that's fine too.[/quote]
