What is Curie? Is it an fcps program?[/quote]

Curie is a $3000+ a year private coaching class in the Herndon area which promises accelerated learning by staying a grade or 2 ahead of the curve. They would like kids to enroll as middle schoolers or even earlier... I saw a mailer from them encouraging Kindergarteners to join! Kids are expected to invest 8+ hours a week in classes and homework in the name of TJ prep. [/quote]

Its not for TJ prep.  There is a $300 TJ module in the summer before 8th grade but it is like kumon.

People don't like it because they have an almost exclusively Indian clientele and Indians are the model minority of the month.  They are the immigrants working their assets off.  And they are the ones taking all the academic spots.  They're hungry for opportunity and they are strivers (which somehow became a derogatory term on this board).

They will ease of the accelerator in a generation or two when they feel more secure about their place in this country and then the next wave of immigrants will become the vilified model minority.
