[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish all of these posts better articulated why people want to accelerate far beyond the norm.  Is the child truly uniquely gifted?  Bored because they go to top math camps each summer?  Transferring in from a different math configuration?  Hoping to graduate early?  Preparing for a big math competition?  Not going to finish their senior year in the US due to an expected move?  Most of these post comes across as over the top parents who are just trying to get ahead of the Jones’ and it is so hard to answer helpfully when there is no context about the actual kid and their unique situation.[/quote]

My kid doubled Geo and Alg II.  In our case it was creative thinking for his IEP.  My kid loves math.  Alg II was the carrot that got him out the door and off to school in the morning.  Geo at the end of the day kept him content at school knowing that math was coming.

We’re doing the same first/last period with physics and pre calc next year.  He’ll also have to take bio as a 9th grader but that doesn’t incentivize him like the math based science classes do.[/quote]

He sounds adorable.  :wink: [/quote]
