[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AOPS isn't for most kids. They spend 75% of their time focusing on esoteric contest math tricks while skipping over basic skills.[/quote] This. Don’t expect your kids to learn any algebra if they’ve never had it before. They do not spend much time teaching it. Instead does math tricks. It might be okay for those that already had it. Some parents don’t check and assume that it is doing good. But it’s a waste of money. You’ll get more from Khan. And it’s free.[/quote] What do you mean teaching tricks? Last year, my kids were virtual and I didn't really see this during class. Can you give examples? The teacher would usually go over material, ask questions/encourage participation. I know they have math competitions, maybe in those classes?[/quote]
