[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor kids in the upper county. Their middle schools don't even have math teams! This shows how polarized this society is. Sigh![/quote] Math team is a student club. If their middle schools don’t have math team then it just means there isn’t enough interest from students in the school to run a club. It’s nothing to do with polarization. They just have different interests. [/quote] God forbid schools encourage students to get more involved in learning math. [/quote] If math team students even spent 50% of the effort kids made for sports like football, the future of this country would look very different.[/quote] Lol, let me flip that around for ya: [i]If football kids even spent 50% of the effort others put into math team, the future of this country would look very different.[/i] There, fixed.[/quote] Kidding aside meeting for the math team for 1 hour per week is excessive compared to 3 hours of football practice daily. My kid was on one of the top teams at this years mathcounts and they put in an hour a week and that's it. I actually wish they did more, but I don't feel it's my place to push them.[/quote] Which middle school football team practices for 3 hours a day??? [/quote] I know most HS teams practice 2.5 hours a day. Regardless, that's way more time than any math team that meets for just an hour a week, but our society values sports more than intelligence.[/quote] Football isn't cover 4 hours per week as a class in school, plus homework, and math team doesn't need to factor in time to change clothes and shower. Competitively serious math teams have additional homework study, since they don't meed to meet at the gym to exercise on special equipment. This comparison is idiotic.[/quote]
