Don’t listen to negative comments. If you child enjoys math, go with RSM or AoPS.

There are some schools where teachers are amazing and do their jobs. In such places, your child will thrive even if they come unprepared, but have the necessary aptitude.

What some parents fail to say or realize is that there are many teachers and schools where math classes are almost like track meets. Teacher does a pre-test at the beginning of the unit, and decides how much of explaining, if any, is necessary. If your child ends up being one of the very few not familiar with the concept, tough luck with getting proper instruction and practice.

Every family should do what they see fit. We do AoPS.

At our school, this is actually necessary, even if no one wants to admit it. Personally, I think that enrollment of so many of AAP students in enrichment classes, only perpetuates the problem. But, I, myself, cannot fix that issue.

So, yes, we do enrichment and we do it due to the lack of proper instruction at school. [/quote]
