[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no honor for 1st grade. Accelerated and advanced are the only two levels in 1st grade. Either you are lying or they gave you wrong options.[/quote]

Is there honors in second? She said that she could do the summer program and honors in the fall, when the child will be in second grade. At least the way I read the post is that the child just finished first grade and will be in second grade next year. I know that there is honors in third, because my kid was in it.

Also, RSM will move kids up a grade level if they see that the math is too easy for them or you can ask to be moved up a grade level. The only time we ran into a problem was in 6th grade when they did not want to move my DC into Algebra as a 6th grader. We dropped the grade level math at that time because it was not engaging them. We kept the math competition program because DC loves it and it is very challenging. There are homework problems he cannot figure out, they discuss the homework in class. It is the right level of engaging and challenging. We also like that DC has learned that they need to do their homework and ask for help even in a subject that they are strong in. It has been great for them. [/quote]

OP  said rising 1st grader. Also, I highly doubt that if she needs to be in advanced for the summer, they will let her skip the grade. If you look at the material for 1st grade, it’s really not about arithmetic. The math itself is very basic and my kid’s school curriculum had more complex additions and subtractions than the ones at RSM. The difference is that RSM uses a lot of logic and the basic math is used to solve logic problems. That is what is missing for the school curriculum.[/quote]
