[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Race to nowhere. The path for extreme acceleration (>2 years) should have a very high bar. [/quote] What do you consider greater than 2 years acceleration to be? And what should the bar look like? My son ended up on a path that had him taking engineering statistics, differential equations and Linear algebra his senior year and could've gone further if it it had been left up to the school. But I pulled him from math and some science in middle school (with the school's support) to take him through several AOPS courses, because I *wanted* him not to accelerate for the sake of acceleration. When he went back in 9th grade, it was mainly box checking that year. This acceleration was precipitated by a visit to the school's counselor expressing suicide ideation. There was a large mismatch between his math knowledge and his first grade teacher's expectations, but it should not take situations like that to get kids what they need.[/quote]
