[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't assume the compacted math is challenging one. That's just one year ahead curriculum. My DC says most of his friends in the compacted math think it is still boring.  [/quote]
I'm guessing many of these kids have outside tutoring.  Parents are well-meaning, but sometimes, when they put their kids in after school tutoring to get ahead, they do their kids a disservice.  Of course, they will find math in school boring now that they've already learned it outside of school.

My DC is in HGC/compacted math.  DC says many of the kids [b](mostly Asian) [/b]have outside tutoring, and the kids don't like it.  Yes, they get into TP magnet and such, but these parents really shouldn't complain that the curriculum is too easy and the kids are bored.  It wouldn't be so boring if they stopped with the outside tutoring.  Not all, I know, but at least in some of the cases, this is the situation.[/quote]

Honestly, what does that have to do with it???[/quote]
