Scholastic News

My daughter was not accepted for Harvard Med. Ditto MIT, Cal Tech, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Which is okay. She's just twelve, after all.

But she did pass the qualifying tests to enter an advanced math program. She took the tests last year, barely missed it, and this year passed with flying colors.

We're quietly pleased.

Yeah, it's pretty neat. Thanks.

We don't know if she's actually going to take the program -- we're leaving it up to her -- but we made sure she knew we were delighted.

Yay! She'll learn more actual facts in that Math program than all of Harvard.

Perhaps. But the street scene in Harvard Square, particularly around that news stand, is a lot more fun to watch. I like standing in the entrance to the Coop, myself...
