Interesting that Longfellow and Carson continue to outperform Cooper even though Cooper is wealthier.[/quote]

Longfellow has historically dominated Mathcounts, except for a couple of years where there were a handful math prodigies at Basis. I think they have a system to produce good mathcounts results[/quote]

The common thread was Vern Williams. He's at Nysmith now, if memory serves.[/quote]

Vern Williams left Longfellow years ago.  Maybe he left a legacy but he hasn’t been a teacher there for quite a while. [/quote]

He's been at Nysmith since 2021. If it was just him, Nysmith would have jumped up in math contest wins the past 2 years - but it hasn't.  He built a good program at Longfellow, which is now running well without him.  His success at Basis were bolstered by a couple of math prodigies.  But it will take him a few years to build such a program at Nysmith. [/quote]

These private schools take so much money from parents and they need a public school teacher to improve their teams? Now you know why private is worthless [/quote]

This statement/question doesn’t make sense. [/quote]

Seems clear to me.[/quote]

Explain it then. [/quote]

I think their meaning is self-evident but if you can't figure it out, it would be lost on you anyway.[/quote]

Their meaning is useless and flawed. What they are saying is that public schools can’t produce/have better teachers than private schools because private schools are expensive. The fact that the privates ‘bought’ this teacher out of the public school system in a way confirms what they are saying, but only that the better teachers can be ‘bought out’ not that they don’t exist. [/quote]

I have to disagree. They made a valid point that holds up. [/quote]

Neither they nor you can articulate on that point, so it’s not a valid one. You’re entitled to your opinion. [/quote]

Why should I? It's already clear to anyone who can read and I'm really not interested in your games.[/quote]

If you’re not interested then don’t reply. The point is not clear or supported in any way. No attempt whatsoever.

Instead of doing childish replies, you can quickly elaborate on your point. But you can’t. [/quote]
