[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I support equity but not equity politics.  In the realm of equity politics, political gains are often achieved at the expense of the suffering of the target segment that they claim to uplift. The callous school board members are gambling with the lives of innocent students from poorly equipped middle schools and their less informed parents.[/quote]

So you feel things were better when only kids who could afford to buy the test answers got in?[/quote]
Still using the same old build up to promote Curie? [/quote]
Is Curie the enrichment center? We heard their curriculum is one of the toughest and a good number quit partway for that reason and likely others. Do they teach anything more than above grade math, science, english, etc.? [/quote]
We first heard about Curie from this forum almost three years ago, and enrolled our child in math and english combined program.  Thank you all.  
Yes, Cure is not easy and not for everyone.  Initially, they do placement evaluation, and enroll in bridge courses if child is weak in an area.  Keeping up with homework is required and there are periodic evaluations.  A good number of kids we know have quit halfway as their curriculum is tough, almost year and a half to two years above school grade. Instruction is excellent, but few kids find it frustrating not getting advanced concepts at the pace taught.  They recommend moving down a level, and few kids do, but others leave as they dont not want to sit with lower grade kids. But if child likes Curie, then they really enjoy the challenge.   Price is comparable to other enrichment, like kumon, rsm, etc., but way cheaper than AoPs.  Our child does basketball travel league, and Curie costs less than what we spend on basketball yearly.

I saw a kid in geometry at school, his Curie homework was trigonometry.[/quote]
