[quote=Anonymous]While making the list is an honor, and should be celebrated, as pointed out by some, this should not be the only criterion for assessing students' achievements, and certainly should not be made the main goal for kids to study. A kid might just need 1-2 problems to make the list, and the cutoff is not the same across states. And if a kid need to take test prep from 9th to make the list, that is also an opportunity cost for developing other interest, or simply sleep. Being commended is also a big achievement, especially if the kid plays a sport or pursues other extra curriculum activities.[/quote]
