[quote=Anonymous]I have one more math-y kid and one less math-y kid. Personally I never ever hear parents brag about how far their kids are above grade level but I do think there is peer pressure and comparison within the schools, intentional or not. I agree with other posters that the math pathways are more black and white so it is an easier metric to explain acceleration. I think as parents we need to role model to our kids that lots of pathways can work and people all have differently strengths and weaknesses and that is a fine thing. I think you seem very caught up in the competitiveness and it is probably stressing your kid out too. Just because you feel someone else wants to be in a competition with you doesn’t obligate you to participate.[/quote]
