[quote=Anonymous]First, hug your teacher. She is going rogue which is great for your daughter. Be prepared for this to stop next year and your child to be stuck with things she already knows. Teaching beyond the grade level is against MCPS policies.

I would strongly encourage you to supplement at home or enroll her in outside math enrichment. For math kids, doing the same thing over and over does make them eventually lose interest in the subject.

I had the same perspective as you did in terms of worrying about her being too bored if you let her accelerate at home. I held back on the enrichment for 1st and 2nd grade and then realized that DD was still incredibly in bored. She started losing interest altogether because it wasn't interesting. We signed her up for outside enrichment and now she thinks its cool and fun again. The other advantage of outside enrichment is that most programs require mastery of a level before a child can move forward. They come out with a better foundation than the skipping around and repeating things over and over again model in MCPS. [/quote]
