[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those kids and more specifically, their parents are trying to get a leg up to get into TJ. TJ admissions has caught on and won't admit all of them. Most of them would do better by just taking geometry in 8th grade. Then they struggle to do the same in HS. [b]There are very few math geniuses but everyone wants to look like one.[/b] It's a race to nowhere. [/quote] Your argument doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t take a math genius to take Algebra 2 in 8th. The math geniuses are not taking Algebra 2 in 8th, they’re probably taking linear algebra or differential equations or something even higher. [/quote] No, that is my point but these families think they need to separate themselves from the rest of the pack anyway by accelerating as much as they can even though they are not math geniuses.
