[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you've proven yourself to be a deceitful little shithead.  First you claim you didn't besmirch me when you claim that I, an Economics PhD, do not know what a logit is.  More examples can readily be found in the previous pages.  Now you claim that I claimed that a magnet class was never was equivalent to a college level class.  That is a ridiculous statement that is obviously false.  If that were true, all incoming college students would start at the same math level.
Note well that I have never accused you of TJ-envy, just lunacy.  See a doctor for appropriate medication. :roll: [/quote]

Dear TJ poster (not sure who you think you’re talking to):

Here’s what you said at 8:10 this morning:

“I think it's time for a DCUM beatdown now.  Your whole premise seems to be that the magnet math at Blair is so great that your kid will run out of undergraduate math courses, particularly if he goes to a liberal arts college.”

It does appear that you think a magnet class isn’t equivalent to a college class. This is the only logical conclusion from your assertion that you don’t believe magnet kids can test out of/skip college-level classes to the point they eventually run out of classes to take.[/quote]

I think its quite clear that I used the expression "will run out of undergraduate math courses," which, of course, is not logically the same as saying a magnet class isn't equivalent to a college class.[/quote]

Um no, the first follows directly from the second because there’s no way to skip the first-level courses unless you can convince the college you already did the work in high school.  But I’ll let you have this because I’m joining others in hoping you’ll shut up already.[/quote]
