[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know if they supplement at YY or LAMB outside of language supplementation?[/quote]

Of course some of the high SES families supplement. Advanced/GT math isn't offered at YY, at least not formally, and LAMB's Montessori curriculum is pretty chaotic in the implementation in the upper grades.  A good many high SES families quietly hire math tutors, send kids to summer enrichment programs, including DCPS summer school (mornings for 5 weeks from late June through July), Math Tree and Johns Hopkins CTY, no matter which public school their kids attend.  We've run into YY and LAMB families at JH CTY in Alexandria.  Parents with smarts know that, by 5th grade, the DCPS math curriculum is 2-3 years behind the math curricula of rich and middle-income countries that do a better job of teaching math than the US.
