[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a grip.  Your child is in a public elementary school.  If you think that the curriculum is too easy for her, you can homeschool school her.  There are plenty of math workbooks that she can use at home if she wants to challenge herself (I like Saxon Math -- but it is old school, not new math).

If you think that the teacher can give every child in the class the same amount of attention you expect for your daughter, you are seriously underestimating the workload of a classroom teacher.[/b]

Humility is a great thing to learn.[/quote]

Which is why most people recommend private school for advanced kids.  Public teachers have 30 kids and [b]you are lucky if 20 of them speak English[/b].  [/quote]

:roll:  All 27 kids in both of my kids' classes speak English just fine.  No, we are not in a W cluster.   And not all private schools provide that much acceleration in math.  If your kid is very advanced in math, you are actually better off at a public magnet school like TPMS/Blair.[/quote]

The religious schools may not but the college prep privates, they sure do.  [/quote]
