Is AoPS worth the extra drive time and additional screen time? Do these programs need time to work the kinks out before its worth it? 3rd-4th grade level / Math 3 or Math 4, in case that matters. I would like DD to learn to think critically and also want to make sure she can double accelerate if she wishes in middle school. She has three years until then, though I don't know when the school will start with placement.
AoPS
-further away
-2 hours of screen time at home per week, done during class
-more rigorous(?)
-more critical thinking (?)
-parent portal and tracking
-new campus
RSM
-closer to our place
-older campus (so they know what they're doing?)
-no screens at all
-no parent oversight
These are all terrible ideas!
Do you think every child is so privileged to have access to this sort of enrichment? You seem out of control, OP.
