When taking calc as a senior was actually considered "smart"

I agree with you on this.
When I started out in high school, being two years ahead in math was considered SMART.
Our school resisted students who tried to get ahead and wouldn’t allow anyone to double up on classes if they already were a year or two ahead and wouldn’t allow students to be more than two years ahead.



This is still completely true at my school. I’m 2 years ahead and there will be so few people in Calc BC that we will have a class of only 20. Only 2 people in our school are higher than BC and are required to take online classes at our state university if they want to continue math. I’m guessing that the schools that are offering Calc III are private/boarding schools.

Another way the site brings down my confidence ;)
