    Wonderful. Hoping the forums can eventually bring about more of this type of understanding so more children may benefit from a system which treats them as the unique individuals they are.

    Squishys, that's such a lovely brag! Way to go for your son!! It's marvellous that he's being met at his level.

    What is to give light must endure burning.

    My 10 yo boy scored 770 on the SAT math and in the upper 500s on critical reading. He is taking the AOPS Algebra II course and studying trigonometry on ALEKS, in addition to going to IDEA math classes. He is motivated by standardized tests, so I may have him take the SAT Mathematics Level 2 Subject Test when his Algebra II and trig studies are over. Then he should be ready to study calculus.

    Congratulations all around to HM's DD, squishys DS, and Bostonian's DS10. smile

    HM, we're looking into compacting through virtual schooling vs traditional homeschooling so it's wonderful to hear that going the virtual route hasn't hindered your DD academically. I know it hasn't been a perfect solution for your family but given how ODD DD can be with me, it might end up being the least worst option for us at some point or another.
