Amy, RE: India's top 'high schools' teach differential calculus in 8th grade, while integral calculus is taught in 9th grade.

Indonesia's top high schools teach calculus around the Junior & Senior years.

Meanwhile, our top high schools teach calculus in the Senior year of high school.

I would disagree strongly with this. I was in high school two and a half decades ago, and I was learning calculus starting in my sophomore year, not my senior year. Kids in high school now can go even quicker if they desire.

And just as important to me, if you venture out beyond the "top schools", we are way, way ahead of both India and China. My kids can get an education at the rural public school here in NC that is every bit as good as the best private school in the state, if they have the ability to achieve that high.
