Congratulations to these incredible students!

The kids at Cabin John and Robert Frost who did not win lottery beat the kids at Takoma Park who won lottery.

Sooooooo, you're sayin' that heavily prepped kids with a larger peer cohort remaining at their schools and great PTA funding to support academic extracurriculars did well in a math competition? Shocking!

Mathcounts costs $0 in PTA funding. The county pays the teacher sponsors and the bus drivers. Financial aid is available for the $30 registration fee.


The beauty of math is that it is free and equitable. All it requires is time and effort.

What are you doing today? I assume you don't want to watch the Super Bowl with all those <yawn> "highly prepped" players

Yes, but wealthy Potomac typically sink tens of thousands into outside enrichment.

AoPS and RSM are doing great!

I hate to break it to you but less wealthy but still lots of MC and UMC areas in Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Rockville, Germantown and Gaithersburg sink tons of money into outside enrichment.

Those in-bounds, mostly white local TPMS magnet and non-magnet kids are in the same enrichment classes. You would know this if your kid actually went to a magnet.

NP here. I have had two kids in the magnet at TPMS (one currently). Neither have ever had any math classes outside school (including the one in the Blair magnet). I have no idea about my kids classmates and neither do they. So your statement “you would know if your kid actually went to a magnet” is completely false.

Huh? What I [i]don’t[/i] know is who does or does not attend “enrichment classes”. Anytime someone makes a broad statement about what kids at a certain school do it’s BS.

Your posts are really painful to read. The mix of bragging and then putting others down is just distasteful. I think what people are trying to say is that if your child attends these classes you know who else attends them and there are plenty of MC and UMC white kids from Silver Spring and Takoma. But you wouldn't know that because your children don't attend.

They're just in their wealthy Potomac bubble and have no clue how others live. It's not a coincidence that the AoPS center is on that side of town.

Maybe, but these debates long predate the lottery. Threads like these saying that the magnets have declined are commonplace and some are very invested in proving it.

This is not true.
I have a TPMS catchment kid who also went to Blair magnet. Almost all the enrichment kids were from Rockville and Potomac. My kid remembers all there A++ binders as they prepped for the HS magnet exam (several years ago). Same kids did AOPS, CTY, etc.

For the PP that said they were confused, mathxounts is a long standing national competition where kids compete in teams and as individuals doing math problems that are a bit different than the type of math you do in schools. I went to states back in the mid 1970s, so it’s been around at least since then, although I think the format has changed over the decades.

Congrats to all the competitors! This is the sort of thing where everyone who competes really wins.

Frost is a student-run club. The coaches are a handful of former Frost team member from the past 4 years. (They are now at Blair SMACS.)

Please talk to your children and their friends at Blair and other high schools, suggesting they reach out to coach more schools, and new schools. With Zoom, one coaching group can coach a group of students with just a few kids from each of any schools, greatly expanding the positive impact. It's good for SSL hours and coveted T20 college applications.
Mathcounts even offers scholarship money to some students who start new school clubs. Mathcounts is a mostly volunteer-run program that survives in the efforts of volunteers of all ages across the country.

Love this idea!

Obvious tell when a parent has kids who are smarter than parent. Child probably got their brains from the other parent.

+1, I had 3 kids go through the magnets and they said the same thing
