[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the parent (usually) who is coaching. I’m familiar with one group that is INTENSE. Every Saturday and day off school they are drilling/practicing. Some are in it for fun and enrichment, others are in it to WIN. You could try a meeting or two and see if it fits what you’re looking for.[/quote]

Those would only be at Longfellow/Basis/Rachel Carson, who vy to win the Mathcounts state championship every year. It's not so crazy at most schools. [/quote]

Do you blame them? Winning is the golden ticket to TJ, especially with the revised selection process, since you can't just buy some test answers to stand out.[/quote]

It is the opposite.  Winners are not selected, while students who buy essay prep will get in over them.  But thanks for trying to shoehorn in your talking points.
We will see what happens next year, as the Virginia team at nationals had two 7th graders.[/quote]

However, I think winners can get in in the sophomore round.[/quote]
