[quote=Anonymous][quote]OK, thanks for the warnings and honest opinions. Though I would like people to consider the possibility that overenthusiastic acceleration also has significant risks. I went to a highly ranked liberal arts college that was full of very burnt out young people whose parents likely thought that they had done right by their children. Also, your "see where your child is at graduation" betrays your own competitive streak. Perhaps this is just about parents wanting to win.[/quote]

Your experience in a highly ranked (or lowly) ranked liberal arts institutions is absolutely irrelevant to MCPS children today (e.g., in K, 1, 2, and 3 rd grades) who have already mastered the content and concepts for mathematics in their grade level and above.  "Overenthusiastic acceleration" has absolutely nothing to do with MCPS providing these kids with appropriate challenge to meet demonstrated needs.  This is not happening for many in MCPS.   Families and parents who asked for appropriate challenge are doing right for their children.  [/quote]
