[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has the kid totally learned in his own? A self starter with zero supplementing from you, a tutor, or any Kumon/RSM/Mathnasium/etc. vendor?  Then… I might consider them an independent learner and ready.  [/quote]

We are in Fairfax County. Any kid I know in my child’s AAP class is in at least one of these programs or has a private tutor. Some of my child’s kids have said they prefer school to summer because they do more work in summer!!!! [b]So very doubtful in the richer areas of Fairfax kids aren’t doing this[/b]. [/quote]

We’re in one of the “richer” areas and my kid is heading into algebra I in 7th at Longfellow with absolutely no enrichment, tutoring or prepping. These kids do exist. 
[/quote]We know of families sending their kids to Kumon while in Pre-K and throughout elementary school. I’m surprised that after 8-9 years of that, why aren’t they even further along in math with all the extra classes?  There are so many kids in our AAP taking these Mathnasium and RSM classes!  Either the teaching is poor or the kids just aren’t getting it.  But, most are not just leaping 2 school years ahead for all the countless work sheets and classes. [/quote]
