[quote=Anonymous]My DC starts kindergarten this Fall.  In his preschool class, they're adding, subtracting, reading and I was told to buy 1st grade workbooks, and skip preschool/kindergarten workbooks.  I'm concerned my DC will be bored in kingergarten and was told this is frequent problem with early readers.  He'll be attending a Catholic school in the Fall, and I'm wondering if he wouldn't have more opportunities at our local Fairfax Co. elementary school, which has high ratings.

The reason why our DC is advanced in math is because of this:  he's required to keep a log of all his IPad game purchases, and before he can download a new game, he has to figure out how much money he has left in his "account" (but my IPad).  He's now doing more complex math problems, i.e., +, -, +.  He's so into sitting down with his ledger to figure out how much money he has left, and this little excerise has turned into a great learing lesson.  Out of 20 children in his class, he's 1 of 4 children that can add and subtract correctly.[/quote]
