[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, sadly, 'most of America' is not gifted at math, so endless repetition is the only way to ensure kids graduate from school knowing multiplication tables. The fact that your child is 'gifted' does not negate the fact that public schools cater to the average. Get him in private if you need accelerated math.[/quote] A private school that is going to welcome a child with autism who has some academic weaknesses is likely going to have plenty of kids with social skills issues which is not a great idea when your child needs social role models. Have you seen how math is taught with CC? The repetition is a small part of the problem. They are teaching ridiculously involved ways to do simple math problems. Kids should be allowed to figure out what style works best for them. One size fits all is insane. Plus, every public school has math groups, but ALL the math groups have to use CC.[/quote]
