Also, there is no magic formula, really. I know kids who did all this and ended up not getting into the magnet. In fact, majority of the kids who go to these classes do not get in. So there is no way one can point to a kid and say he or she qualified for a magnet program only because of mathnasium/A plus/etc. It is not my cup of tea, but I will not blame the parents who send their kids to those classes as the reason for my DC not getting into a magnet program.  (Well, I do pity them  :lol:  since I think it is a waste of money - but hey, to each his own..) [/quote]
I used to think these prep classes were terrible for kids, but I'm not so sure anymore, especially given the debacle of 2.0.  I don't think these prep classes do that much for kids getting into CES, however, I think there is value in it just overall. An hour a week spent on extra math/reading/writing is not going to harm the kid. If anything, it will help. More kids should do this.  It's also a way to make friends outside of school.

I used to be a naysayer. Not anymore.  Even doing a math workbook at home is helpful. The good thing about those classes is that they get to be with other kids.
