[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MathCounts came up once or twice in this thread. At the state competition today, Burleigh Manor took first, Takoma Park second, Herbert Hoover third. Frost came 6th. The top four finishers who will go to the nationals attend Burleigh Manor, Takoma Park and Dumbarton MS. TP also had three of the top four finishers in the countdown round. TP obviously prepares the kids well for these contests. But because so much of doing well depends on tutoring, coaching, etc., it’s a pretty meaningless signal. But winning does come with bragging rights![/quote]

TP gets the best science and math teachers and the top kids in the county of 70,000 middle schoolers and still can’t win first in these events. And you know all the TP kids have tutors too. Their whole lives are math/science. [/quote]

I have a kid in the TP magnet. He’s never had a tutor. And as far as he knows non of his classmates have either. Speaking in general not about the team.[/quote]

Most TP magnet kids don't. The top MathCounts students take classes and study outside of school.[/quote]
