[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many kids get enrolled in AOPs or RSM? How bizarre. Is it to get a leg up? To look good for TJ? Is it a cultural thing?[/quote] Nope. My kids are/went through advanced math in ES through a local level IV school. Neither of them are super stars in math even though the get good grades. Neither are TJ bound. One didn't even make it to 7th grade Algebra. They aren't taking math outside of school to get ahead. They are taking it because I want them to get a solid foundation in math/reinforce concepts. I think advanced math in ES is good for acceleration but not for getting a decent foundation. I'm not sure if they will continue in HS. [/quote]
