whats wrong with it? My AP Calc in high school classes (two semesters) in Virgina (Halifax Country) was just as good as Calc 1 in college.
I wished I had skipped it. Calc 2 was the class that I found challenging.
I also in high school, I took Pascal as a learning to program/into class. I college I learned Ada, and it was a breeze due to my high school.
I feel thankful to my last year in public school in middle of no where, rural VA, as it gave me great education/foundation that I did really well in college.
I feel bad, as now Virginia is doing the same crap with math in the name of equity. Dumbing things down to the least common denominator is terrible, especially for smart/capable immigrants like I was. We don't have the luxury of private schools, and public schools are starting to pull the rug out as well.
