Default What education?

Go sit in a high school B-C Calculus class and remember that the
kids there are a product of public schools.

What percentage of high school students take a real course in Calculus,
other than maybe a half year introduction? I don't know, but I suspect the
percentage is very small.

Must be something in the water.

Around here about 15% of the kids are in honors math. I used
to to tutor some of them. They easily test out of freshman
calculus when they get to college.

Pardon me for allowing facts to interrupt a partisan screed.
