[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid who comes out on top at Mathcounts is not there because of anything he learned at Hardy. This is natural talent and/or something fostered outside of school. Same goes for the kids at STA or Sidwell. They're taking the regular math on-grade level classes like everyone else in the grade. They're more of them because the school has selective (and probably even more importantly---self-selective) admissions. An hour or two a week in a Mathcounts after-school club does not make one into a math genius. Anyway, kudos to all these kids but I don't think you can really credit any of these schools with these accomplishments. [/quote] There is also no way to know the household income or personal life challenges of these kids. You don’t need to make it about public vs. private schools but instead celebrate the specific accomplishments.[/quote]
