[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Supplementing in math 4 hours a week and expecting the school to accommodate is ridiculous[/quote]

Are travel sports with 4 practices and 2 games a week ridiculous at 10? Because there are a lot more kids doing that then who are doing any type of math supplementation. Some kids want to play sports a ton and some kids like math. Some love music or drama. What activities are allowed that kids can do more then they get at school? [/quote]
If the kids is doing all those sports and then complaining of boredom, then you need to adjust.  Perhaps add something more intellectual?  Something creative?  If it's working for the kid then carry on.

This whole post was about asking schools to accelerate kids inath to an extraordinary extent.  The pushback here is that there's no point to such acceleration--its a race to no where.  Instead, fix boredom by introducing other challenges.  For a really brainy kid, that may require something that takes more focused brainpower than a sport.[/quote]
