[quote=Anonymous]They are not learning a year's worth of math in 4 weeks. There is a tremendous amount of overlap in middle-school math. They are learning ~2 years of content in 1 year + 1 summer, which is not that hard for the students who are at ease with the material. Had children go through when it was the norm (no summer program) and one going through this year in 7th grade. The older children had no trouble with schedules (in both public and private). Being able to take Calculus in 11th grade opens things up (Physics w/ Calc in 11th, AP Stats or AP Comp Sci in 12th). The summer thing wasn't that stressful for DC. It is not that big of a deal (no pun intended) either way, but if your DC is comfortable in math they will do fine. I'm not a big fan of the double-acceleration which leads to Calculus in 10th, but most of those I know who have done it have no regrets.[/quote]
