[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not taking geometry for fun. They are taking geometry hoping to get into TJ or to be able to take more advanced math classes thinking it will help them get into to schools. My kid is MATHCOUNTs, the kids taking geometry are giving up 8 hours a day in the summer for 6 weeks. Most of them don't find it fun. Many will find it easy because they have been exposed to Geometry already but it is not fun. It is also unnecessary but their parents really won't believe that and the kids will end up taking the class. [/quote]

My kid's math teacher said in one class that most of the class is likely in RSM or Kumon or something else. The other kids went through the material a year earlier, did those hard math questions a year early, and now doing the course for the 4.X GPA. If your kid is going through the material the first-time expect a brutal time: low grade and feeling intellectually inadequate. The teachers make the test much harder to spread out the grades.
