[quote=Anonymous]Our kid just got invited to the Deal Math 8 summer math acceleration camp (she wasn't invited at the mid-year point but apparently did well on the end of year test they gave last Friday). I was surprised at the dates -- in past years the camp was four weeks during July, but now the camp is planned for June 15-July 9. It means only a week off before starting the camp. Have others who have gone found that they assign homework or is it just instruction from 9 am -12 noon and the kids can enjoy the afternoons off? I'm also not sure it is the best idea to accelerate at all. Our kid is already a year ahead -- is it smart to cram all of Math 8 into four 3-day weeks (48 hours of instruction at most), versus at least 135 hours over 180 school days that they would get over the course of next school year?
