Are many middle/high school students being pushed too far ahead in math?

<p>texaspg - the problem I have is that what you are suggesting is that a student is not ready for Calculus if they have not already HAD Calculus, which is obviously a recursion problem, not to mention false. Also, the student may not be admitted to the engineering program out of the gate, but that does not mean that there is no way to get there once they have not taken AP Calc in HS.</p>
