I can relate. DS is multiple grade levels ahead in math and ELA at our DCPS ES. Teacher allows him to do extra but still has to sit through the daily lessons which are not differentiated. We are not in a financial position to consider a private. We supplement out of class with Beast Academy/AOPS and encourage him to read and write to his heart’s content. I wish there was more at the school level in DCPS but there really isn’t...so we try to fill the void.

Curious as to your long-term plans for DS, if you care to share? We may be in similar boat.[/quote]

We definitely do not now and won't have funds in the future for private as we have other children.  We plan to continue AOPS until Middle School and are hoping, as others point out, that there is differentiation in MS and HS.  We are also considering potential move to a surrounding county so that we could use a magnet program (IB/Math Magnets).  All of these are really hypothetical right now.  At this point we are just trying to encourage/indulge DS's internal curiosity and drive to learn.[/quote]
