An amazing, inspiring story, Happening in Florida. This should have National coverage.
Great story. Sounds like a very smart, talented man.
I had an influential math teacher, and the time I and my friends had with him, playing chess at lunch and after school, was wonderful.
My small high school didn’t do well in math. The main math teacher was autistic, and smelled horrible. Most kids were scarred by his example and avoided math and science.
But where is the CRT?
btt
The local state university offers an accelerated math class to all the qualifying children in our county, starting in 7th grade. It is totally free, and all the kids had to do was take an aptitude test given by the university match department. All that was need from the individual middle-schools schools was to adjust the child's schedule to allow the kid to leave early, and keeping records of the courses and grades from the university on the kids' transcripts
Our local middle-school head of admin - a real karen who was also the head of the teacher's union - thought that was too much trouble. She announced they would no longer be advertising or supporting kids to go to the advanced math classes. My kids are out of that school, but I complained like hell to every school admin simp there was.
Let’s see the names ( particularly the family names ) of the Florida Math Team members.
In the 2022 Math Olympiad held in Oslo early this month, the top 3 countries were ( respectively ) :
China, South Korea and yes, the USA. Vietnam was number 4 and Romania number 5.
But one cannot help but notice that the Gold Medalists in the American team ALL had Chinese family names.
he then adds competition and practice (summer 80 hours) and those are all the key ingredients.
