[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends who are unhappy are the ones whose girls truly excel and at another school would be put into an actually accelerated model, one where you could get to linear algebra, win national math contests, etc. A quarter of any class at any of these schools (except maybe Hunter or Speyer) isn’t that kind of math student. They feel the program rewards the more averagely smart kid by holding back the truly talented ones. They complain that their daughters sail through the advanced math and are bored. Gifted kids work better in schools where they can take flight and the school holds those kids back. Not sure if it’s new phenom or [b]a result of it’s equity emphasis[/b] — just don’t know.[/quote]

Lol, here we go again.  Yeah, the school holds kids back in math because of DEI.  C'mon.  Otherwise, I agree with the rest of the post.  It is a humanities focused school for sure.  If you want math, I would go to Stuy instead.[/quote]

Poster isn't explaining what grade they are talking about.  Brearley doesn't start splitting up the math classes until 6th grade.  And of course half the time it's the first grade parents complaining that the school is ruining their genius's STEM career.[/quote]
