No, I don't. I thought my kid wouldn't get accepted because he is a quieter kid and not someone who looks to stand out. He was in pool with his test scores. He enjoys those activities and that makes me smile. I love seeing him involved in those type of programs but I love seeing him in his athletic programs as well because he is doing something he enjoys. I think he would do great at AoPS and have suggested to him that it is a possibility if he wanted to do more math but he wasn't interested. I have no problem saying that those types of programs provide an enrichment that helps him in school and when he is tested. It is simply a different type of tutoring.

Okay.  Cool.  But the point is that scrutinizing your kid's activities and deciding that your kid is doing them because you're forcing him to do so and not because he loves them is problematic and often racist.  My kid loves math and his musical instrument, thinks chess is boring, and is only mildly interested in coding or robotics.  So he does math and his instrument.  I'm no more forcing him to do so than you are forcing your kid to do his activities.  It seems like an Asian kid doing math, chess, coding = pushed by parents and not very advanced without the tutoring, while a white kid doing the same = the kid loves the activity.[/quote]
