[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sad that everything’s to be a competition nowadays. Some kids are just more interested in collaborative endeavors than competitive ones. My kid aces her math classes in HS including abstract algebra, calc BC, MVcalc, discrete math, and SAT math … without any tutors or prep class or even studying, but has no interest in competitions. Would rather spend time helping and connecting with others and on her health and hobbies/ECs. [/quote]

There is a place for everyone. Even your kid. There is nothing sad about competition math. I know kids who really enjoy the challenge and my kid is like yours but just because someone like competition math does not make them uncollaborative or unhealthy. [/quote]

Some of us have kids whi get anxiety about not getting perfect scores or not understanding things. [/quote] Sounds like your kids were under-challenged in childhood. That's a common recipe for perfectionism in childhood.[/quote]
