[quote=Anonymous]There are some weird responses. IMO you shouldn't force a kid to take classes at AOPS. It really is a different math focus and not aimed at all learners. I do think if a kid is struggling with math at school, it is fine to require the kid to be tutored or go to a center that follows the normal school curriculum. I have never heard people link AOPS to status except here on DCUM. There are those who are lucky enough to be able to pay to supplement and those who have to scrape and make it work, but I've never met anyone at these academic centers doing it for some status marker. I HAVE heard a lot of parents at centers bragging about what geniuses their kids are, but that is a separate issue. It is interesting to observe the different cultural norms around this (I'm mixed and definitely see a pattern of parent behavior among different ethnic groups). [/quote]
