As a potential future teacher of many of these students, I really like knowing where they are coming from and what are the issues they have faced as they get to the high school level.<br /><br />I look forward to teaching many (most) of these students over the next few years.Michael Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231362823419529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-11428292182382012712016-06-06T23:57:39.666-07:002016-06-06T23:57:39.666-07:00I check and read the blog fairly often, but I will...I check and read the blog fairly often, but I will admit that I rarely post. I'm super thankful the blog is here, and you've continued it. <br /><br />I hesitate to add something that I wouldn't be able to consistently contribute to, but I will anyway: I wouldn't mind more good news features highlighting some of the strengths or achievements of TM, Cascadia and some of the other programs. Heck, it would help me be more aware of schools that my family isn't associated with.

There are probably a few parts to the answer, but one aspect: after-school enrichment programs with math classes aimed at creating math teams. At 7 schools (all in Redmond, I think), an entity called <a href="http://www.ellipsisacademy.com/" rel="nofollow">Ellipsis Academy </a>runs them. Nothing like that exists at TM.<br /><br />-TM ParentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-37035873052005712262016-06-04T20:51:40.188-07:002016-06-04T20:51:40.188-07:00

It has been one of the major hilights of the academic year. The problem of the week has been fun to work on. We had to move a white board into the dining room so that we could continue to discuss the problems over dinner. <br /><br />I have been wondering why the east side schools dominate the local math completions. Is Cascadia the only seattle public school that enters? What about TM? Fairmont park? I know Bryant used to have a team. <br /><br />-nhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-88081895981420622162016-06-03T14:05:28.116-07:002016-06-03T14:05:28.116-07:00Benjamin, thank you for picking this blog up.
