I think the kids are also misled to a great degree. They basically told us if we'd want to go to uni and go for a STEM degree we should absolutely, totally do the focused math courses etc. When I arrived for my CompSci they basically said: "We'll leave what you already learned in math behind around christmas (so after half of the first semester), no matter what kind of math you learned before". I can't 100% grade both judgments, but I did not take the advanced math thing, but if they hadn't said these (apparently) completely wrong thing, I 100% would've taken French at school. (Which is another problem I'll not go further into, some fixed tracks of what path you need to choose in which grade)
