[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid does not attend any Math classes outside the school. They are in Advanced math and score in the 99th percentile in standardized tests. How would you compare school curriculum with RSM/AoPS and are the private classes far ahead of school? For someone very interested in Math, am I doing a disservice by not providing extra enrichment?
I am feeling a tinge guilty reading this thread [/quote]

why? Your kid is doing well in math. They don’t need more.

we enrolled DS in AoPS and then RSM because he wanted more. He was teaching himself new concepts at home and enjoyed playing math games. We asked him if he wanted to try AoPS and he was excited. He enjoyed the class and the work but wanted in person and closer by. He enjoyed RSM and fell in love with math competitions. He treats math like some of his friends treat sports, it is fun to do outside of school and he loves to compete. He does play rec sports and has other activities, he just also has math.

He can choose to drop out of competition math if he wants, this is one of his extras.

Does your kid love math and want to do more? Then look into it. If they are doing well in school and are happy, then no worries. Most of DS classmates think he is crazy for doing additional math, but he doesn’t care. he has friends who are doing well in school and don’t want to participate in math enrichment, that is fine. Let your kid choose their interests, all you should do is offer suggestions.[/quote]
