[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're really into math, and really into your kid being advanced in math, you must tackle the problem yourself. Same for piano, violin, religion instruction, tennis, gymnastics, literature, second language, etc. No school is going to care at the level a parent will. [/quote]

My child went to a good but not overly rigorous gen ed public middle after going to a very good Gen Ed public elementary. We were a bit concerned they weren't learning much in middle school but we didn't supplement, other than a tutor for SHSAT and ISEE. They are a very good student but not an off the charts type. They got a 99 on 8th grade algebra regents, did extremely well on SHSAT and ISEE, and have been a top math student (as well as doing well in other classes) at a very good but not TT private HS. While other kids were stressing out in middle school they had a more relaxed experience and came out doing fine (haven't applied to college yet but aiming for TT schools). For level setting, I went to a top suburban public and an Ivy so my bar is very high. People just need to chill out.[/quote]
