[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the kids aren't just "prepped" though. They're "packaged" from an early age. The right math contests, robo league, summer programs etc. There is a cottage industry around here that preps them on alot more than just math and verbal multiple choice tests. Like how to write the essay, what to say. "I have a passion for...", "my passion is..." If the deciding factor was an ethics question I think they would stumble initially but then figure out how to beat that one too. Anyway, TJ is getting to be an near all-Asian place and that will deter alot of smart kids from wanting to attend. I have given up on trying to keep up with this test-prep hell for my children. I doubt it is worth it in the long run.[/quote] I don't see anything wrong with math contests, robo league, summer programs, writing practice etc itself. [/quote]
