[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't group privates together, nor can you group publics together. Our kids went to a top private, were doing proofs as juniors. Both are in the highest level math classes at top 10. They were very well prepared WITHOUT tutoring.[/quote] DP. Glad it worked well for your kids, but still it is an atypical result overall. [/quote] How do you know this? DC is not at a “big3” but is at a well-respected private with a strong math program. None of DC’s friends need outside tutoring. [/quote] I’m a DP. My kid is in a strong math program at an area Catholic high school. Plenty of options for students. I think the main difference is there isn’t an “accelerated math for all” approach. The school emphasizes that to 9th grade parents, too. They don’t want students in advanced maths without the strong foundational skills necessary.[/quote]
