I’d feel worse for kids taking math outside of school. [/quote]
Doesn't mean they have to retake the same class, especially if they took outside classes somewhere accredited like AoPS. There's no reason schools can't accept it for credit or at least placement.[/quote]

As far as I know they don’t accept that credit. Maybe things have changed. Kids will still go to school though. Those 8 hrs/day will still be spent there. It’s better if they are advancing during those 8 hrs and do other fulfilling activities outside of school. [/quote]

This anti-education attitude is why the US economy is faltering. [/quote]

Which anti education attitude are you talking about?[/quote]

Discouraging people from learning outside of officially designated learning hours, as quoted above. [/quote]

I wasn’t discouraging them. They can learn wherever they want. I was saying that holding kids back in the public schools forces the parents to either leave the kids behind and have other non academic activities or put them in more school after the 8th our.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t prefer to work after work. I’d think it’s the same for most people.

It’s like you goofing around at work and working to catch up in the evening. [/quote]

At work you contribute while at school they receive. Advanced kids are not challenged at school and that's why they have to learn outside.[/quote]

Whatever! You want to promote your AoPS classes, sure go ahead. You’re advocating for a lousy school and outside enrichment. [/quote]

I strongly recommend summer reading class for you.[/quote]
