This page is responding to some of the most common questions we have gathered from parents regarding competitions that we participate. If you have more details, please write me with your suggestion and feedback. -- Elizabeth Mabrey
Most basic Criteria:
Competition meetings vs. regular club meetings?Competition team meetings(during competition season):
Regular club meetings:Everyone is expected to work on the similar tasks, although the more advanced student will be given more complex work.Meetings are run in a more instructional format. Children must work in a team of two (except the very advanced individual).
So the ultimate question will be..."Which one my child will learn more from?"
This is really depending each individual, such as the aptitude to learn in a
short time and under stress, as well as propensity to take on new challenge and
succeed.
Is it ok for my child to join only during competition season?If your child wishes to play a major role in the team, it will not be a good idea. Remember that they only meet a couple of hours per week. It does take long term commitment in order to compile more advanced skills.
