The types of kids who end up accelerated in math usually LOVE math.  It's a travesty to take a kid's favorite school subject and turn it into a boring slog.  It also tends to make them dislike school as a whole.  [/quote]

Why not just have them go extra deep instead of being more accelerated that seems like a better approach ([b]but probably more work for the teacher/school system)[/b][/quote]

You just answered your own question.  It's much less work for the school to jump a kid ahead a year than it is for them to provide extra depth or enrichment. [/quote]

Plenty of schools have intensified classes starting in middle school.[/quote]
That's wonderful for kids who are regular smart kids.  It does nothing for kids well above that level.  Within the intensified class, very few teachers have the time or will to provide increased depth or enrichment for the 99.9th percentile kids.  OP, if you think your kid is an outlier, check out the Davidson Gifted forums.  They will be more useful than threads here.[/quote]
