[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a rapid reader with a nearly photographic memory, can write and research appropriately, and is easily bored and under-worked in English courses where lots of other students are just messing around. If math can be accelerated, why can't English? Is the best we can do for DC to take AP Lang as a junior and AP Lit as a senior, or is there something earlier or better that is possible?[/quote] I'm not sure what acceleration would do. Once they run out of APs, what would they do for English at school? Your DC could read harder novels and write independently if they love these things. They could apply to advanced writing summer programs. They could participate in drama club. They could take more history classes where students learn to to write analysis and can read related non-fiction and fiction books. Does the school offer English elective classes? My kid spent a semester studying Western genre novels and film. [/quote]
