[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math is the main reason we didn’t attempt the Latin lottery. Some families are totally ok with oh my kids dont like math. But we’re not of that mentality and think math is the path to many science, business, tech and engineering fields. Also the humanities at other schools is not as poor as the math at Latin. So not a worthwhile compromise for us. [/quote] Yeah, I got that feeling during the open house, when the director of "Numeracy" said that her main job is making kids less scared Math. That is not a school that is going to challenge kids who have an aptitude for math, and I also agree that it's a foundational skill that is necessary for many career paths. I know those of us with terrible IB middle and high schools are desperate for a path, but something is missing there. We put Basis ahead and matched... I have all kinds of reservations about Basis, but it's clear the students are learning.[/quote]
