[quote=Anonymous]OK we have not done Kahn but after two years of Beast Academy we are considering trying it. Not because BA is bad -- it is great in many ways and I really like the approach. But it does not match up well with the DCPS curriculum. There are areas where BA is using a different approach to teaching an advanced concept and my kid has received classroom instruction on the same topic and the approaches are different enough that it is confusing. I think longterm it will be fine because she'll have a very broad understanding of these topics. But right now it's a bit frustrating and we though we'd do a year of Kahn Academy to see if we like it better.

But my kid is in 2nd grade and hasn't taken PARCC yet. Also she's getting a good amount of advanced instruction at school because they bumped a small group of kids from her grade into a group that works with the next grade up. So the supplementing is really just because she loves math and wants to do it on her own and in the summer.[/quote]
