[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who has always been several grades ahead in both ELA and math, and is now in middle school. We try to advocate for acceleration at school (and sometimes get a well-meaning gesture in the form of extra homework) but have found that the only way to make up for blah schooling is to provide enrichment during the school year and summer. For ELA, there are writing workshops/camps, and for math, there is Beast Academy/Art of Problem Solving. We also provide challenge through private lessons in a musical instrument, foreign language tutoring, chess, robotics, etc. It's expensive and time-consuming, but less expensive than private school. And kid still has to sit through boring classes during the day. But I tell them (and myself) it's good for practicing resilience and delayed gratification. :-/[/quote]
