[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send your kid to Mathnasium or better yet, let them focus on those areas where they aren’t “two years ahead”.[/quote] This. Hang in there. Things get better in middle school in APS. Mathnasium was great for my kids in upper elementary grades. Now in middle school, we focus on music, schlepping to Strathmore once a week for kids to play in a competitive ensemble (the music couldn't be more challenging). My 7th grader plays in the Arlington MS honors band. Kids attend a heritage Chinese language program in MoCo on Sundays to supplement decent Jefferson MS Mandarin (we carpool with another family). 7th grader takes algebra at Jefferson. OK, Fairfax and McClean would teach 6th grade algebra, but we don't want to live that far out. We like being close to DC museums and cultural offerings. Looking forward to Washington-Liberty IB Diploma classes.[/quote]
