Advanced math and science are not for everyone.   Imo, I am going to encourage my kids to get a basic exposure to some basic and math disciplines to go through life with this information.  Not necessarily advanced knowledge unless they choose to pursue it further.

Mine really hated and resisted physics initially but with some hard work and determination has grown to like it.  She would have bailed I think without my insistance that should be part of her basic HS education.  That is my philosophy and I realize other feel differently.

But know that no one escapes the basic laws of physics and it is useful to appreciate that.   The car will behave differently on a dry road vs a wet road vs an icy road.   That is just basic physics.   Understand that and drive accordingly or risk having your car wrapped around a tree or be somewhere else you don't want it to be.[/quote]
