[quote=Anonymous]I think overall there is definitely way too much acceleration. When high-achieving kids want to get the "most rigorous classes available" checked off on their college applications, they feel pressure to take increasingly more accelerated classes to keep up with the competition. It becomes the race to nowhere. They are rushing instead of building better foundational skills and understanding. However, I do think there should be a path for truly gifted, math passionate kids like OP's kid. Just keep a very high threshold and make it an extreme exception. Colleges should consider 2+ year acceleration as "most rigorous" to take the pressure off of these kids. [/quote]
