[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor kids in the upper county. Their middle schools don't even have math teams!
This shows how polarized this society is. Sigh![/quote]

Math team is a student club.  If their middle schools don’t have math team then it just means there isn’t enough interest from students in the school to run a club. It’s nothing to do with polarization. They just have different interests. [/quote]

Not true. We have kids into math at our school. We do pretty well at Science Olympiad and Robotics competitions. But there's no teacher sponsor for math club/team anymore (yes I have asked repeatedly). [/quote]

Then it’s lack of interest from teachers to sponsor the math team. It takes considerable personal time to be a math teacher sponsor (evenings and weekends).  But your school has science teachers who’re willing to sacrifice personal time to sponsor science Olympiad team.  Maybe simply because the past performance on math competition is not giving the math teachers hope to justify the sacrifice of their personal time?
