[quote=Anonymous]If she's already bored in math at school, won't giving her supplementation at home just result in her being more bored at school? I understand the desire to stretch the brain, but unless you plan to homeschool, I feel that moving an already advanced student well past the highest school levels a bit unnecessary and can cause a kid to hate school ultimately, which could be worse for them than not being challenged to their ultimate ability. Have them practice math at home with real life scenarios "hey larla, should we buy the 12 ounce container for 4.00 or is the 16 ounce container for $5.50 a better deal?" Teach them how to use an abacus. [/quote]
