[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think there is anything wrong with supplementing your child’s education. That is your right.

But a child, or rather their parent, should not be rewarded with special treatment by pushing their kid ahead in the standard curriculum.

Let Aiden study algebra in 5th grade with daddy. But he will not study algebra I in school until 7th grade—along with the other bright kids who had supplementation or not.

No ifs ands or buts.

This argument that because you’ve tutored a child ahead of the curriculum she is deserving of more advanced work needs to die. [/quote]

Not every kids can be tutored to learn Algebra in 5th grade, even Asian students.  Most asian students follow the school curriculum but some of them could lmaster the conceot fast than their peers and are able to go deeper with outside learning.

When my DD was in MCPS, multiplication table was taught in 3rd grade.  The kids were drilled everyday morning for 5 minutes and could move up steps if they pass the same level twice.  DD was able to move from level A to the highest level in 7 weeks but most of her class took more than 12 weeks to reach the highest level.  I assume most kids including mine never saw the multiplication table before 3rd grade.
Yes, we helped her at home because she was so excited about it.
