This entry is missing the π recitation competition, which began in 2006. I propose some current students post the largest number of digits memorized for each year, and who recited them.
Sounds good. If I remember, I'll grab the stats tomorrow. -- Mrspandex 01:22, 19 April 2007 (UTC)--
Mmm... I dont know if people want their names listed on wikipedia, especially for something like memorizing pi... Doesn't that go against privacy issues?-- Tenr 21:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Although the people that are listed may not be particularly pleased, there is nothing against standards or legally wrong with doing so. Really, I doubt it would matter, names are prettymuch available everywhere already. I suppose one could ask, but I just don't see the point.-- Mrspandex 01:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Mods, don't be dumb. I was adding facts to enhance the quality of this page. What I added was entirely fact. I would know, I attend the school. So you must go there too if you took down the facts, right? Oh, wait. You don't!
I also attend the UCMST and, due to personal reasons, the teacher who usually provided bagels and donuts on their respective days decided to curtail the selling of donuts. Another teacher has taken it upon herself to provide students with fresh fruit for 50 cents on the now vacant(donut-less) days.
Another nugget of truth is that, although not too often, we do occasionally play kickball outside for good behavior. The last semester was ended with a kickball tournament (in which my team lost) as a treat for making it through the year.
Basically, UCMST kids are known for their integrity (hence the section about it!) and wouldn't make this stuff up.
BC CALC RULES!!!!!!!
The majority of the wikipedia entry for UCMST is now completely against wikipedia standards. If you want to post things like you have, do it on the talk page. I also attend UCMST, and it is not your opinion that is the problem, or even the fact that it is in the article, it is simply the way it is presented. Also, if you are going to edit, have the decency to log in when you do it. -- Mrspandex 01:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
What's the point of this ranting? America's education system isn't the best, but why is this in a discussion page on UCMST. Why don't you graduate, go to University, and then see where your life is, because as someone who's been to MST and is in grad school, things will change a lot for you before you get a job. MST isn't a ticket to success (believe me), but it is an indicator for how you'll do in a college setting. MST started as the absolute brightest, but as MST expanded, more and more of the upper portion of the bell curve were admitted. This is not a bad thing. Going to a school with ONLY the brightest people would be a uniformly bad experience.
The bickering in this discussion is immature and asinine, and shows one of the problems with MST. You're still in high school when you're in MST, and to an external observer this is intensely obvious. - Nick Lafrenz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.253.226 ( talk) 16:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Workload It is very common for an MST student to have over 2 hours of homework a night. During their time at the center, students are many times expected to sacrafice their personal life for their schoolwork. Though, students generally reap advantages far greater than the disadvantages. If students are not interested in making these sacrafices, they are advised not to attend. Lack of Sleep
For students, sleep is only a memory from the weekend, and a reward for finishing homework, as opposed the the more generally accepted goal of sleep: An essential bodily function required for efficient operation. For this reason, it is popular for students to individually schedule an ancillary sleep class. This is usually scheduled during a math class, but schedules are subject to change.
These are pretty unnessary and opionion-based stuff. Workload is definitely NOT 2 hours for everyone. especially between the different grades. Lack of sleep is purely personal, most kids get an adequate amount of sleep, even those who have been through 4 years of MST and take highly challenging classes at the home schools. Also, can you freshmen please STOP adding SUCH POINTLESS SHIT ALL THR FREAKING TIME!!! Thanks. --

Hey, Tenr, just relax. The freshmen will be freshmen, I'm sure you remember what it's like. Anyway, all it takes is a quick edit to fix what they mess up. Icestorm815 05:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey guys, I know we're all proud of MST, but the ThunderChickens aren't actually directly affiliated with UCMST, so I'm not sure it's appropriate to claim credit for their achievements on a webpage for the center. --Scott Wolchok 68.60.88.113 07:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Anyone intersted in getting attendance data for each class? It would be very interesting to see the number of incoming and graduating students each year.-- Mrspandex 22:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
According to the DCMST page, they have a rivalry against us (UCMST). Is anyone aware of this? If so, it would be great to investigate/write about it. Aside from that, it might be a good idea to incorporate some of their page concepts into ours (ie: tables/charts). Icestorm815 06:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
