[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience is that Summer Geometry is generally being discouraged by schools, even for kids who can "handle it". Progressing through the math curriculum "faster" isn't necessarily "better", and in many cases seems to have had a negative impact on students when they hit higher math in late-HS or college (which is why the schools are discouraging it).[/quote] My experience is that the teachers hate it when keeps accelerate outside of their grade level and yet don’t understand when you tell them your kid is bored in their class. I’m also annoyed that parents are asking about this on Facebook now like … Seriously? You don’t know if your kid can handle it? If your kid has perfect scores on their SOLs and IOWA and Algebra I honors and can read a math textbook like a comic strip: go for it. Otherwise, don’t. [/quote]
