[quote=Anonymous]Don't worry about CM. You can transfer in or out of CM and advanced math during the year or between years, in any year from 4th to 8th. It only starts to "lock in" at Algebra. It's very hard to accelerate once you've declined to take Algebra earlier. But the pre-algebra classes in ES and MS have little "content" repeated many times. They are a charm league" covering the same material repeatedly until the kid is practiced and mature enough to move up to Algebra. There is no harm in skipping or accelerating through math 6/7/8 whenever your kid is ready. Just pay attention to your kid and encourage them to develop their interests and abilities. Use Khan or IXL or AOPS if you want to move faster than the class in preparation to jump ahead next year. [/quote]
