[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD with 800 in SAT math have never done these enrichments, she did a 2 week prep for SAT, but never enrolled in there year long programs, seems excessive.  Her only friend doing these classes is on the low math track[/quote]

The difference is your child is extremely bright and probably on the highest math track.  [/quote]

As an MCPS HS math teacher, I can safely say most kids in that track were heavily prepped. Not sure why some parents love to pretend otherwise. There's really no shame in putting in a little effort.[/quote]

Not really, it is kids on low math track taking these classes, never heard on kids on the same track as DD ( calc BC 11th grade) doing these enrichments [/quote]

Kids on the high tracks often take outside classes in elementary to get ahead and onto that track in the first place.  That enrichment is also a form of prep. It's not like the high track kids had talent in a vacuum.[/quote]

That's usually the case with anything whether it's basketball, soccer or math.[/quote]

Except sports, outside of a minimum level of physical education for health purposes, is not the mandate of schools.  [b]Extra[/b]curricular.  The opportunities available within public education should not be differentially reserved for those with means.[/quote]

Whether you approve or not is irrelevant. People are doing this in droves. Look at all these booming prep centers.[/quote]
