[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stupid. What's the point? Surely your kid would benefit more from an in depth study of calculus for an entire school year instead of 8 week cram session. [/quote] The 8-week head start will give them the foundation necessary to succeed in advanced level math. It's also a mistake to assume that the year-long classes are inherently better. The year long classes are slower paced to accommodate the for the wide range in ability levels. Summer courses are faster but generally have a much more motivated and capable cohort of students. [/quote] The OP said nothing about this being a head start or a foundation. They are taking it to advance to a higher level faster. [/quote] I’m not the OP, but can’t they conceivably accomplish both? And you can disagree with an idea without calling it stupid…and also by providing an alternative that you think is better.[/quote]
