Don't worry how other people raise their kids.

A parent can ask a question about math placement while their child enjoys summer.

A child might even ask to do math or science or LA or history during the summer because they, gasp, like the subjec. DS has selected 3 different STEM camps this summer (chemistry, coding, and robotics) to go along with Scout camp and weeks of hiking and water activities for the rest of the summer. He also asked to take an AoPS math class this summer. He is enjoying himself.

All this is great. Do what fits your own child.

The original post immediately jumped into worrying about other kids. That kind of obsessive comparison is ridiculous.

I'm not sure where in my post you got that I am worried about other kids? Not at all. I mentioned activities that other kids do that my child does not.

+1 OP, I agree with you. I didn’t read your original post as worrying about other kids at all. Ignore the PP.

Why does every thread here have to be derailed with nonsense and attacks on the OP?

OP, if your kid's school offers advanced math in 3rd grade, he sounds like a very likely candidate for it. As someone else said, placement in advanced math occurs early in the school year.
