You sound crazy competitive and bitter. Do you say the same about the kids who ‘prep’ for high school soccer by playing MSI Classic or Travel? Or are you just biased against kids who enjoy Math?

Not PP, but I also have the impression that it’s crazy competitive and the kids are obnoxious about it. My kid was totally turned off by that and hasn’t tried out for the team despite being very strong in math and going to the Blair magnet next year.

I am the PP. The defensive parent cracked me up. It is what it is. Sure, I was bummed my kids couldn't do it because I did math team as a kid and enjoyed it. But, it's not that big a deal, not enough for me to have some ulterior motive to denigrate those on it. It just was the case that the kids who got on didn't simply love math, they trained for that type of math (aops, discrete, etc). Again, this was a while ago.
