I realize this is kinda new, but hoping someone with someone older has been there, done that.
Our public school district is accelerating a small group of kids 3 grades in math. Starting in 6th grade, they can test into algebra. This path has them taking calculus their sophomore year. Therefore, they are done with the normal high school math their Junior or Senior year. They can take Physics, which has a pre-calculus requirement. They can take Chemistry, which has an algebra requirement. There is math in those science classes. Some parents are having their kids take statistics just to keep them in math.
The vast majority of these kids are thinking about engineering or medicine as a career. My son is thinking engineering. We have an engineering elective--Project Lead the Way. The Freshman year class has a prerequisite of algebra 1.
Curious what others think about this.
