[quote=Anonymous]Both of my academically advanced kids found 2nd grade to be the worst. For both of them, the material was just not very interesting, there wasn't much differentiation to challenge the top students, and they were given tons of busywork, like word searches or coloring pages. Maybe the teacher for 2nd was awful, but both kids were bored and miserable in 2nd. Strong math students enjoy the pace of 3rd grade AAP/advanced math, because they're finally being somewhat challenged. Strong readers enjoy the transition from "learn-to-read" to "read-to-learn" that happens in 3rd. FCPS science and social studies topics become much more interesting in 3rd grade than they were in 2nd. [/quote]
