[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For mbmt and many university sponsored math competition (hmmt, PuMAC, cmu, Berkeley math competition, etc), you don’t need a HS sponsorship. Parent can register as a coach and pay a small registration fee to attend. Kids from different schools can form a team together. Some competition is driving distance, some has online format. Math competition is probably the cheapest one compared to sports travel team cost.[/quote]

It’s not as if parents aren’t spending on STEM enrichment activities for their kids because they are choosing to spend their money on travel hockey instead.

They aren’t spending on math enrichment because figuring out how to register as a parent coach when there’s no teacher coach and finding kids from different schools for your kid to compete with when there’s no school math team would be difficult even for a highly educated, well-resourced parent.

And if you’re highly educated and well-resourced you probably wouldn’t have your kid at a school with such limited STEM enrichment activities.

Again, characterizing these are widely available options for all MCPS students is not accurate.   [/quote]
