[quote=Anonymous]The more I think about it, the more I'm annoyed that some of you are determined to turn academic achievements into a product of privilege and thus easily dismissed. For many sports or musical instruments, private coaching is essential. Yet, nobody views it as pay-to-win. Winning is still the product of the kid's natural ability and a ton of hard work, even when the coaching is flat out essential. For math competitions, private coaching isn't necessary. Of the 10 kids I know who are at or at least reasonably close to AMO/JMO calibre, only one possibly has done private coaching. Even more than any other competitive activities, doing well in math contests is the result of innate ability and hard work. Why is there some huge effort to dismiss it as some sort of privileged, pay-to-win thing?[/quote]
