[quote=Anonymous][quote]You make your choices.[/quote] Right. But my point was that choosing not to participate in a certain set of activities doesn't necessarily mean you're not a good candidate for TJ or not passionate about STEM. Kids can show that in a lot of different ways. A kid may decide they don't want to do additional academic "clubs" during the school year, but over the summer pursue STEM learning or advance STEM interests in various ways. Or on weekends. Why is the Mathcount/Science Olympiad/Robotics club way better? Also, these are still kids. They have limited choices available to them. They are bound to a large extent by the choices of their parents and what is offered at their particular school. Like I said, we couldn't meet the mandatory parent volunteer hours for Science Olympiad. And SO was new at our MS this last year. Kids before that couldn't do it at all. The part that I find sad is people having such a narrow view of what makes a good candidate.[/quote]
