[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 'math competition industry' thing reminds me of Spelling Bee. My kid went to national one and lo and behold all the top placers were in like a hidden Spelling Bee Industrial Complex nobody knew about.[/quote] This is (while frustrating in the moment I am sure) also very amusing. I am trying to picture what that would look like: a kid practicing spelling 24-7. Thank you for posting, I needed the humor. [/quote] There was a good documentary about this maybe 15 years ago. The film at least showcased spelling bee contestants from a diverse array of backgrounds, and at least then, it was a super time-intensive process, and usually involved a lot of parental pressure/support, but didn't seem to be $$$ necessarily.
