[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I don't understand the obsession on this board with taking Cal by 10th grade.[/b] I was always good at math, but I didn't take calculus until I was a senior in high school. And I got into an ivy league school where I graduated with honors. My kids are younger so I'm sure there's plenty to say about DC middle schools and high schools that I don't understand, but I truly don't understand why this is something people harp on here.[/quote] It's just a proxy for "acceptable school." That's it. [/quote] (So there are some parents who will limit their choices to the schools that offer Algebra 2 by 8th not actually because of that class, but because of what it means about the school as a whole -- the student body and the rest of the curriculum. I'm not bashing that, we are at a school on that short list and I do feel like my kids have a path towards success that I might not have felt at another school).[/quote]
