[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your child a math prodigy? If yes, and you have other evidence for it, it will help your admission.  If not, I would say that calculus AB in 9th grade is too much acceleration resulting in superficial grasp of the material.[/quote]

I'm not sure what "evidence" you mean- DS doesn't do math competitions because it's not his thing. but he does many problems a day for fun. he likes experimenting with topics outside of class.[b] also, he has an A in class and aces every test,[/b] so I think he has a prety strong grasp of the material.[/quote]

this means nothing, sorry.
do you have any math background? it's hard for parents with no background to judge how good their kid is in math.[/quote]

Your comment means nothing because you have no basis from which to judge the parents qualifications. [/quote]

actually i do. i very much doubt OP would even ask this question publicly if she had significant math background. our own kid is highly accelerated and we constantly quiz her to make sure there are no gaps and her foundation is rock solid.[/quote]

Yeah.  That sounds healthy.   [/quote]
Sounds like good parenting. School standards have dropped. Highly educated parents who aren’t educating their children are negligent. [/quote]

Sounds like abuse Karen[/quote]
Cry me a damn river. “Abuse” isn’t calculus Jane. Get a grip, some people have real problems.[/quote]

And I suspect that your child is among them.[/quote]
They’re successful and getting internships. What are yours doing? Complaining online about how difficult life is, and sporting blue hair and pronoun stickers?[/quote]

They aren't nearly as successful as yours.

They are only a nationally recognized athlete at a T10 with an internship lined up in a well known area of NYC. Probably because they didn't accelerate enough.[/quote]
