[quote=Anonymous]I've often wondered what the advantages are for multiple year math acceleration for the vast majority of kids. Does it really help to have these kids doing calculus their freshman year in high school? In some ways I think 2.0 might have it right; spend more time having kids really understand vs. rushing them through. I've taught my 4th grade daughter some simple algebraic manipulation techniques. She easily picked them up and was able to use them effectively. I also believe that she really didn't understand in any real way what she was doing. It was simply a technique she learned. I think a lot of the kids who are accelerated are like that.[/quote]
