[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Acceleration isn't rigor. It just isn't. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. Leave China in China. [/quote] I beg to disagree. My kid is taking DE Multivariable senior year which is two years accelerated. How is that not more rigorous than the standard pre-calc? [/quote] DP. I disagree that “acceleration isn’t rigor,” of course accelerated classes show rigor, but I don’t think acceleration is necessary for rigor. Your kid has gone above and beyond, but another student who “only” reaches AP Calc would also have rigor, and might actually also get that “most rigorous” indicator. The schools don’t set the bar by the few accelerated students, they set the bar by what is the most rigorous version of what most students can attain — usually Calc, but in some schools, that might be just AP Precalc. Only about 50% of public high schools in the U.S. offer calculus. [/quote]
