[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Truth- I exaggerated the score so that I would get a lot of responses.

I think we’re going to do geometry for the summer. He’s been doing basic geometry for a couple of years now and Aops seems like a good place for him to get some math enrichment.

Thanks!  Also-  it’s an anonymous forum. [/quote]

I’m the one who inisited you were lying about the 100% and everyone jumped on me that you definitely could know. Thanks for fessing up.  [/quote]

OP here. You’re welcome?

I really also don’t like posting my kids exact scores ever- because I do think teachers and admin read this site and can figure out which parents are posting here. I am sorry if it really got you angry. It was not my intent. But I wanted to keep the - oh your kid isn’t really thaaaaaat smart- people from posting as much as possible. Which…. Didn’t work out as much as I hoped.

This being said- I am truthfully not trying to get my kid into TJ. But because s/he is learning geometry now, in sixth grade, and enjoying it, I think s/he has a chance at taking math classes beyond calculus senior year and that should help them more. [b]I checked out AOPS- its not what I’m looking for. I was also really smart at math as a child, but always felt that the beauty of math wasn’t really taught well at school. AOPS feels rigorous without being inspiring.[/b]

Thanks for everyone posting. I know I should have replied earlier but I’m currently obsessing over real estate soooo….  Yep.

Have a beautiful weekend!

DP.  I feel the same way.  I loved my calculus classes in high school and in college, I was fortunate to have excellent teachers who taught well and loved the subject.  There are lots of posters who love AOPS on this board and it doesn't look inspiring to me.  So my kid gets to read books on his own and find inspiration that way.  (He's really into chemistry right now.  I need to find some good physics books for him, it's much more interesting lol)[/quote]
