[quote=Anonymous]I have a graduating senior who is kind of insane in math. 6th grade AAP teacher was giving him extra math work on the side above and beyond the 7th grade math the rest of the class was doing. Scored in the 98th percentile on the Iowa and took Algebra I in 7th grade. Had no problems with the math but had some maturity issues adjusting to middle school so we had him retake Algebra I in 8th grade. He still ended up in the same place as all of the other AAP kids by senior year taking all of the math classes offered at his HS and scoring a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT. And at the end of it all, there was no prize for finishing first. It's important to look at the big picture when considering these types of offerings. I've seen a number of kids in my son's class whose parents pushed them ahead because it's what they wanted and their very smart and very capable kids struggled more than they needed to.[/quote]
