[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is math racist? Haha

I left the USA so my kids can have better preparation than the average teenager here. LCPS and FCPS are major frauds and are considered top districts in the country. Make it make sense. [/quote] Why not just homeschool your kids or move to the Bay Area or take them to AoPS/RSM after school?[/quote]

Because I’m taking my kids to a private institution abroad where they’ll acquire a more rounded and stronger skill set than the nonsense peddled here.  [/quote]
More round and stronger how? Math isn't the issue since you can always supplement. What do you feel the international private is providing that a US private can't?[/quote]

The fact that your first instinct is to suggest "supplementing math" at home is the loudest admission of institutional failure I’ve ever heard. Imagine cutting a check for forty or fifty thousand dollars a year only to have to spend your weekends acting as a remedial tutor because the school is too busy "de-centering" excellence to actually teach the basics. If I wanted to homeschool my kids in the core pillars of civilization, I’d save the tuition and do it for free. You aren’t paying for an education at that point; you’re paying for a high-end social club that has rebranded its own academic decline as "inclusivity."

What an international school provides is something U.S. private schools have completely abandoned: objective reality. While you’re busy defending a system that views merit as a "social construct," the rest of the world is still grounded in the real world. There is something deeply humiliating about watching elite American parents scramble to justify why their kids are being lectured on gender ideology and "lived experiences" instead of being prepared for a global economy that doesn't give a damn about their pronouns. It’s hard to take a "prestigious" curriculum seriously when the administration is more concerned with the "progressive victory" of putting tampons in the boys’ bathrooms than they are with actual literacy and logic.

The world outside the American "woke" bubble operates on competence, a concept that U.S. private schools now find "problematic." You’re essentially paying a premium to ensure your children are the least prepared people in the room when they hit the global stage. International institutions aren't wasting time navigating the absurdity of whether biology is a suggestion or if math is a tool of oppression; they’re producing students who can actually solve a complex problem without needing a safe space or an HR-approved list of microaggressions to get through the day.

Keep your supplemental worksheets and your "rounded" American indoctrination if it makes you feel better about the massive checks you're writing for a broken product. But don’t act surprised when the kids who were actually educated in institutions that prioritize sanity and science end up running circles around yours. Some parents want their children to be leaders; you clearly just want yours to be the most "enlightened" person in the unemployment line.[/quote]
