[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here - we are confident.  Just wanted her to be ahead.  Several other families in our ES are also doing this advance work.   This is time better spent than soccer or dance on the weekends and after school.[/quote]

So this year, she's going to spend her weekends learning the stuff that the math class next year will cover, so that next year, she will sit in class not learning anything new because she already spent the weekends this year learning the stuff  -- and this is a good use of time.

How about that![/quote]
Yea, I don't get this logic.  People make their kids take afterschool tutoring to be more advanced than the advanced math track that mcps offers, then complain that their kids are bored in class.  Good use of logic.  Here's how you prevent your "advanced" kids from being bored in math class:  stop with the after school tutoring.  Yes, actually, a kid being involved in some athletics, art, music, dance, whatever has some value.  Or, you could just let the kid be bored at home, you know, let them figure out what to do with themselves at home other than having parents dictate every hour of their lives.

Yes, I know, some kids are very advanced beyond compacted math without the tutoring, but that's probably not most kids.[/quote]
