[quote=Anonymous]I have a hyperaccelerated kid (AP calc in 8th). Acceleration is fine, if the kid is fully ready and has no foundational gaps. Skipping content once you reach Algebra is idiotic. For most kids, self-studying or using something like Khan academy means that the kid is glossing over the material and retaining very little. No school anywhere is going to let kids skip core math classes. The kids who are far ahead either skipped ahead early in ES, or they completed accredited classes at a local college or CC. They are also generally math outliers and not just bright kids who want to jump ahead. [/quote]
