[quote=Anonymous]I think with Math in particular it is not only enrichment but additional depth and rigor and a lack of trust in the level pf the school curriculum that leads parents to supplement in math using RSM or AOPS or CTY etc... it is a bit like asking why not just stick to the school tennis or soccer team; why do club tennis or travel soccer and why do private coaching when you can learn these sports in school? Why do supplementation when you can get that in school? Why do supplemental music when you can get it in school? The answer is that the depth, mastery level, teaching, and peer group can all be enhanced or surpassed outside of school. Don't parents judge the quality of schools themselves for these same reasons? Why just stop at the assigned school rather than address through "enrichment" if it is important and suits the child? [/quote]
