[quote=Anonymous]This question comes up so often... 
We ask too much of general ed teachers. They can be teaching 3 to 4 levels in one classroom.  It's nearly impossible for them to help the advanced kids because they have to do work with the kids falling behind while getting everyone to master the on grade level work.  If your kid is ahead, they will get an extra book club and end up helping their tablemates because the teacher will stick a struggling student with them to help. 
If your kid is self-motivated, they may be avid readers or you can supplement with additional math at home.  
If they are not, they may get bored with school.

I had 1 kid that really needed to be accelerated in math. 
A second that was more artistic, but thrived in an AAP environment, where he was shy in his gen ed class. 
A 3rd just was ready for more detailed work.

AAP doesn't translate to ivy leagues, but it does get your kid working around peers and hopefully focused on school.  It's not the end all be all, but it sets them up a bit better for honors in middle school and AP in high school.

You know your kids best. [/quote]
