I am a product of Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, class of 1975. Based on my interactions with the people who went to college with me, I believe that I had exemplary math teachers in high school.

Every kid who is able should be required to learn at least some calculus, IMHO. Calculus provides insight into so many physical processes that we see in everyday life, it should be a part of every college kid's education, IMHO.
