[quote=Anonymous]A kid who comes out on top at Mathcounts is not there because of anything he learned at Hardy. This is natural talent and/or something fostered outside of school. Same goes for the kids at STA or Sidwell. They're taking the regular math on-grade level classes like everyone else in the grade. They're more of them because the school has selective (and probably even more importantly---self-selective) admissions. An hour or two a week in a Mathcounts after-school club does not make one into a math genius. Anyway, kudos to all these kids but I don't think you can really credit any of these schools with these accomplishments. [/quote]
