With all the math acceleration, I have to wonder how much math is appropriate/ necessary for “non-mathy” kids. My kids have always been put in the most advanced math classes, which puts them on a track to take much more advanced math than they will ever want or need (if they take the four years of math that are recommended for college-bound students). At what point is it OK to jump off the track? I guess they can take statistics after calculus, but why not just take that in college?
