Drop hard math classes because it will effect your standings in the rankings? That's not how you raise students. You don't teach them that when things are tough and you are getting beaten that you change the rules of the game. You man up and study and do whatever it takes to make your math skills better. Otherwise, you're raising a generation of idiots.
Luckily, this is happening in the UK, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was happening her in the US. Now, I'm a bit biased because I was in Calculus/Trigonometry in 9th grade, so I don't see why others can't be in harder classes then I was.
You want to know why western countries are falling behind in math and science scores on the global scale? This is why.
