Re:Do the math: too much calculus? (2012) by CN7R on Wednesday October 19, 2016 @05:32PM (#12747880)
Schools should adopt more dynamic curriculum, instead of a one size fits all, for individual students. Not everyone will grow up to be an engineer, but that doesn't mean those who have an interest in advanced mathematics should be held back. Encourage students to pursue their academic passions, and don't limit certain subjects depending on grade level.

A personal anecdote: I didn't start liking math until Calc AB, as subjects beforehand were presented as dry and were relatively easily so I didn't individually pursue mathematics outside of school. But by that time, I was already a junior and as a result, I often wonder what better math teachers and a non static curriculum would've done for my education.
