I find this very suspect. A dedicated high school diploma is
simply not going to be able to teach calculus and physics
effectively no matter what you claim.
Calculus and physics are no longer high school subjects except in
the AP classes.
Wrong. Physics is especially wrong. In Illinois, as of 10 years ago
and from teacher friends the same si still true, 3 years of science
are required. The vast majority of students end up with 1 year of
chem, 1 year of bio, and 1 year of physics. Calculus is still the
4th year math class there, and a good portion of the school takes it-
at least 20%.
That's Illinois, not California.
Grab a current syllabus from one of the schools in LA or Oakland.
