I know I’m talking to the wrong audience here, but there is already too little time in the high school schedule to take all the courses that interest them. Why take math for an arbitrary 4 years when they will have already progressed far beyond what they are likely to need in life? They can take more in college if they want or need it. But then, I come from a time when EVERYONE took Algebra 1 in 9th grade. It’s fine that my kids are in Algebra 2 in 9th, but that should free them up to take other things as juniors and seniors rather than require them to take higher math courses just because “colleges want four years of math.”
