Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth runs summer programs for high school students at universities throughout the country. The Washington Post reported that about 870 of the nearly 2,900 students will not be able to participate this year. In addition, Hopkins notified the students this weekend, as some were traveling to the sites of the program. An email to parents said, “The nationwide labor shortage affecting many industries has created conditions that make it impossible to deliver an experience that rises to the level of quality we expect for our families and programs.” Virginia Roach, executive director of the center, said in a statement that families were offered full refunds of tuition and travel costs. “I fully recognize that these options do not make up for the disruption this has created for parents who planned their summers around our programming, and the extreme disappointment for students who dedicated themselves to preparing for this opportunity,” she said. “The failure to notify families in a timely manner is wholly unacceptable.”

有参加过往年的吗?体验怎么样?
听说人手不够
我家老大参加过2年,非常讨厌jhu主校区的那个,dickinson的觉得还可以。
大部分华人孩子都参加过吧
治安应该不需要担心!吃的不如纽约的好,蚊子特别多,好多国内及加拿大的华裔也会来,男孩和女孩有成为男女朋友的不少。
具体看多大的孩子吧,高中不值得去,5/6/7年级 没有体育和艺术特长的可以考虑
no 帮助 at all. 还有可能有负作用。
洛杉矶的目前照常
这是不是夸张了啊,其实叫对面Camp的孩子过来认个人不就行了
恩,我也觉得有点过分,揪出犯错的孩子应该是老师的责任,完全有更好的处理方法,让大家全体挨罚,施加压力,鼓励同学揭发,我觉得给孩子的影响挺不好的,刚刚女儿又打电话过来了,说有人举报了那个孩子,然后挨罚算是解除了,不过有个孩子气愤的退学回家了
感觉可以重温一下 闻香识女人 里最后那段演讲。

都上路了才取消,够黑的。
JHU Talent Search(最?)selective的一个program也是免费的,SET,需要用13岁之前的SAT成绩申请,college board不许13岁以下的孩子考SAT以后这个program也不接受新申请了
STEM 里面牛的,除了RSI 还有那个 summer camps 是免费的?
各大学科的奥赛夏令营都是免费的,而且对升学很有用,除了难进没什么缺点,
我女儿就是set member,set不用申请的,program会自己找你,完全没有一丁点活动的program,零作用
lol 肯定沒用
太好了,我们感兴趣的也是湾区那个. 今年不行了只有等明年了。你家小朋友觉得班上其他小朋友怎么样?合得来吗?是不是像其他人说的那样大多数华人孩子?
孩子都挺开心。99%亚,印孩子,但也没啥不好
可能是国内各种机构以前哄家长上培训班所以把cty神话了讲吧。在美国的家长应该没那么天真。我们娃小,根本还考虑不到那么长远,看中的是找到谈得来有共同兴趣的同学和高质量面向gifted 娃设计的课程,而且它历史那么久了口碑还可以就应该可以信得过师资和管理吧。不过最好还是听经历过的家长来谈。
Jhu 给staff工资也挺低的
又去看了一下JHU Job CTY的职位 virtual的 需要中文$15/hour 其实对于没有很多学历的华裔也是不错工作选择。只需要高中学历,需要中文母语,有身份。
“完全没有一丁点活动的program” 是什么意思?
这是竞赛的集训营, 两回事
儿子已经上大学了,初中参加过CTY,非常一般,完全不值得。当时camp有一半孩子是国内来的,因为他家大做广告,宣传是什么天才夏令营,国内人趋之若鹜。
说CTY对申请大学有用的,真不是托儿么?
我刚Google了一下,Sat考试没有年龄限制啊,官方网站说了吗?
我就是被骗了。 当初LP说要报这个, 我一听三周 五千多, 还要外加 travel 费用。 说不行。 我 LP就骂我, 说 你懂个P, 这是要考 SAT的, 成绩够了才能去的, 有 prestige 的。 我一想, 还像还算是有点货的 就同意了。 结果 直到开车送女儿 去的路上, 女儿才告诉我,她的那个班, SAT 只要 数学 到了 500 分 就够格了。
不过话说回来, 小孩在那待得真是 快乐
请问有帮助是指作为reference,还是说对孩子本身发展有什么指导或者影响?
这年头大部分孩子能够得上的活动对申请大学都是没用的,有用的大部分人都没本事上。落个开心已经很好了
CTY 这次太不厚道。
“同学们是不是都是聪明有好奇心喜欢深度学习的娃” 这要求也太高了
大部分得over 50%, 怎么可能?
记得有在cty讲课的老师来这儿说过,师资也就一般。
喜欢深度学习?这估计得学过线性代数,要求太高。
这个深度不是指学得提前,而是学得透彻。不仅知其然更要知其所以然。不喜欢简单加快速度提前学那种模式。
你这个排除法做的😓
??
他说的是deep learning这个梗。。。lol
话说jhu发现他们cty这么搞坏了名声,开始补救了,不知道来不来得及
怎么扑救?
就是字面上的意思,因为set不是课程,等于是个研究性的组织,它的member算是它的研究对象。可是它没有课程,没有meeting,没有lecture,没有seminar,没有互动,毫无存在感
sat没有年龄限制,set加入时的年龄有限制,13岁前sat单项700以上
