[quote=Anonymous]Op here. She has finished algebra 1&2, counting & probability. So I don’t think I got the sequence wrong. She’s got the concept, but admittedly, the foundation could be more solid. 
Of course I encouraged her to join clubs, she doesn’t want to. Not sure if it is typical, but she refuses to do things if she doesn’t think she would among the top. I’ve told her it’s more about learning experience and making friends than being on top, but unfortunately, she doesn’t see it that way. 
For extracurricular, similarly, she quitted everything she can’t do well especially if it involves competition. She pretty much avoids things that are challenging for her. Meanwhile, She is 99 or 98 percentile in all the tests (IOWA, Cogat, etc), so I know she is smart. That’s why I wanted to “push” her to work a little harder. AMC 8 honor roll is more like a milestone she could reach. Otherwise, she would be very happy with doing 0 clubs, 0 extracurricular, 0 AOPS, getting home at 3, reading her books and going to bed.[/quote]
