[quote=Anonymous]Compacted math definitely keeps a bright kid challenged but here's my perspective: My child was in the GT program for two years and I pulled her out of compacted math because it was becoming very frustrating for her and I felt she was spending too much time on her math homework (I felt she was missing out on "kid time"). Fast forward one year (she is now in 6th) and she complains how bored she is in regular Math. The work is really easy. She's right. So, we had to choose between really easy or really hard (for her). Since math isn't her passion, I am comfortable with the decision. Sad that she is bored but I think it was a better call than a year of frustration (she has been placed in an advanced math next year, which I am fine with, though I have a hunch it is advanced in name only since it is not algebra). It's unfortunate there is no middle ground. Good luck to OP's child (and others).[/quote]
