How essential is four years of high school math?

<p>SCGMom - Thank you for the word on trig. I have a feeling it will all work out okay because my son was seriously gifted in geometry, though he detests algebra. He gets it; he just thinks it’s stupid and consequently is in resistance. Statistics would appear to be the most useful of all, which he will take next year. If he puts off remedial calculus until college, so be it. Also thanks for the heads up on Chemistry. I did a search on this very thing this morning, and yes, I verified Chem would be easier than Physics.</p>
