Why one should not

by math154, Feb 9, 2010, 2:32 PM

do math in Missouri:

At 5ish this morning, Ladue called and said there was still school. One hour later, they said "most of our bus drivers did not show up. We will cancel school now." (BTW, it's pretty trivial to drive to school right now. And also according to my math teacher, "If we have a snow day, we won't be open. AMC policy is that the test scores will not be accepted if the school is not open." Is this really true?)

Then calling Clayton, "If you get a math teacher, we will let you take the tests." So two math teachers called them and then, they were still like, "No, you have to take it with your own school/team. We wouldn't want to harm your school district."

Currently, no other schools have it and are open.

Should it be this hard to do math in Missouri?

Knowing Missouri, this requires just >2 inches snow to happen, so there is a >90% chance this will repeat on the B. Which means I will have to probably go with a 100 AMC12 from USAMTS. Woohoo. Time to practice getting perfect AIMEs. For real.

EDIT: Currently calling SLU HS. Hm... maybe...

EDIT2: Nope.

EDIT3: Trying John Burroughs.

EDIT4: Nope, and apparently MICDS just finished taking it.

GG

EDIT5: YES I CAN TAKE THE AMC10 AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. :) :) :) :)

EDIT6: Taking contests while depressed from *certain earlier events* is not helpful.

Based on AMC, you need an adult proctor (not parents related to students) AND a school official at school to administer AMC/AIME/USAMO.

Too bad that you do not have Coach Boyd, last year, FBISD was closed on the first day of USAMO due to bad weather, but coach Boyd went there anyway, along the way, he grabbed a school assistant principal...

Eh? I bet the school was still closed for legit reasons. My attitude toward Ladue will basically always be pretty much "fuck you." I mean, I dislike AMC's a lot, but Ladue...

yeah then at least your school district doesn't need > 0.01 inches of snow to be off from school.

  • Good job on 5 problems on USAMO. I know that is a pretty bad score for someone as awesome as you on a normal USAMO, but no one got all 6 this year so it's GREAT!

    VICTOR WANG 42 ON IMO 2013 LET'S GO.

    See you at MOP this year (probably :) ).
