[quote=Anonymous]If you do it, you should strongly consider a math tutor or Kumon type supplementing for a year or so. There are gaps and they will show up later. Use a tutor who can find the gaps. In Moco and VA, where exceleration is a big thing, most kids are in Kumon type programs and supplement in math. That is less of a thing in DC, but for kids who accelerate, you should do something to make sure there are no gaps in the pre-algebra basics tha tother schools and programs drill, drill, drill. It may not show up in Algebra or precalc, but it will show up on the PSAT and SAT, and if your kid is not strong in something basic, like factoring (random example), it could throw an unexpected monkey wrench into a more complex calculus problem, where that factorng is one step that was a 'given.'[/quote]
