[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than moving up in math starting in 5th or 6th grade, I’m not familiar with other tracking. There are some after school academic challenges such as Battle of the Books and Odyssey of the Mind. [/quote] This is exactly my experience as well. And my DS read a lot. Extra work from the teacher is unlikely to be meaningful, if they agree to it at all. I can imagine busy work but nothing to really stretch skills or go deep on a subject. Remember the point of your Catholic k-8 is faith formation and helping our kids become good people. That’s far more important, especially if you go to Gonzaga or some other high school where you can find plenty of challenge. I get your frustration because I shared it. But in hindsight, I don’t think it hinders them at all and you’ll be happy with the rigor in high school and college. [/quote]
