[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Super accelerated? Our math education is significantly behind and our students are struggling to catch up when it comes time for their stem degrees- note I’m not talking about Stanford grads but average students at average schools. There’s nothing advanced about calculus, if anything it’s foundational for anyone who’s interested in STEM who isn’t a pure math major.[/quote]

OP here. I can only compare my education, in the late 80's/90's to the current day. The top bar for every subject outside of math has stayed the same. I was an extremely good math student, skipped algebra I, and hit AB in 11th grade. That's where math stopped for me, because there was nowhere else to go.

Nowadays, I could have hit BC in 10th or 11th and had several years for post calc math (which I eventually got to in college).

I took every AP offered in my school, and the core ones are no different today. (There are just a lot more "fluffy" ones, like CS, psych, seminar, etc)[/quote]
A lot of content has changed since the 90s[/quote]
