it's too easy to stream kids in the middle of their high school years or sooner in a technical vs. academic curriculum course program.
A stunning example is (though not a female):
A brother-in-law with a PhD in engineering sciences is a university researcher with his speciality in fusion physics, also teaches 2-3 engineering courses to undergrads (2nd to 4th years), includes math. He is at a large Canadian university (University of Toronto) and has been doing this annually for last 20 years.
Guess what happened in his final year of high school? He nearly failed several of courses, which included math and science. So he had to repeat them....and did well.
