[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 926618, member: 3094"] Because the truth is by slowplaying math we are delaying things and making it harder to teach. Do people need calculus itself? No, do people need the problem solving skills advanced math gives you? Absolutely. Calculus isn't hard. Especially not calc 1 and 2 when you are given a full year to learn each of them. Algebra 1 and 2 as well as geometry are simple enough to teach early. The japanese start learning calculus in their 11th grade as well as combinatorics. Germany and japan start algebra in 7th/8th grade but they start the principals as early as 6th. We are starting to do this in california as well. Korea starts early too but asian math principles are spread out a little different than the way we do it in course loads. So maybe a mix of why international students seemed better prepared and my own observations. That being said anyone that was taught common core math will be so far behind we have a lost generation there. [/QUOTE]
