[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the weekend I met a boy that was recently admitted (his dad is a college friend of DH's).  He told me his son's prep started at age 6 and in later years he worked with a Columbia math professor.  I had no idea![/quote]

It's not test prep.  They're not prepping for the SHSAT at age 6 any more than they are prepping for the SATs at age 6. It's educational enrichment.

About half the kids at stuyvesant are on free/reduced lunch.
Very few are getting tutored by Columbia professors in middle school.

EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT.

The keys to Stuyvesant and TJ, for a large percent of smart but not really gifted kids, is:  enrichment.

Mathnasium 
Kumon 
Russian math
AOPS
Khan 
Currie

It is no secret.  If the parents value education, push education, and can pay a little bit for extra enrichment, the kids will rise to the top. That cost of that Disney vacation or cruise would likely 
pay for a years’ enrichment.  It is a choice you, the parent, make.

Why does everyone pretend this is a mystery? [/quote]
