[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math competitions are great for kids who want it but I’d rather have a well rounded kid who can pursue multiple interests.  If a school doesn’t want them as they don’t do competitions so be it.  If taking Mv as a junior isn’t enough they don’t deserve them.  [/quote]

Why do you assume that high level math competition kids aren't well rounded?  My USAJMO qualifier kid also plays in a high level youth orchestra, dabbles in music composition, and is a strong writer.  [/quote]

Most of these activities are solitary.  Orchestra involves other people yes but primarily you're practicing alone.  [/quote]
Way to move the goalposts.  The first PP suggested that kids who do math competitions can't be well rounded and able to pursue multiple interests.  Now, the quibble is that the interests are too solitary?

FWIW, high level regional youth orchestras involve a lot of time with other kids.  You aren't primarily practicing alone.  It is definitely not a solitary or even mostly solitary activity.  [/quote]
