Homeschooling. Do it. By the time one of my boys had finished high school he had finished Calc 1, Calc 2, Calc 3 and Differential Equations. And possibly linear algebra. I can’t remember.

Pretty impressive.

What did he do in college and afterwards with all that high level math?

People need to disabuse themselves of the false notion that "public" education is about education at all.

It's about indoctrination, control, and keeping the populace ignorant.

In the long run, this will just make whites and Asians far more educated than blacks and browns. The problem is demographic voting trends.

This is effectively what is happening. Harvard and MIT faculty do not want their kids falling behind their competition because of this, and so are signing their kids up with tutors to do what the schools refuse to: educate children.

I’d like to meet the mom that taught him Differential Equations, or even Calculus 3.

FYI, linear algebra is fun, Differential Equations is not.
