[quote=Anonymous]OP again, I've heard the argument that accelerating math causes kids to gloss over stuff and move on to higher levels without being prepared. I have no idea if this is true, but I'm not sure why someone who believed it would be accused of "not believing math is important". If one believes math is important, wouldn't you want it to be taught fully and completely? Other than that, I don't have an opinion on math acceleration the way it's been done in MCPS, that is where kids skip years in elementary school. In this case, thought it's a litttle different since he's not considering skipping a level, just taking it in summer school.[/quote]
