Hi, I'm new here and was just wondering... which is the primary concern- having your child learn the new topic/move to the next level or getting the credit for the course on the transcript? I ask because I've had to find alternative methods to satisfy my DS8's science cravings. His public school (k-5) doesn't offer much and doesn't have many resources, so he's been sitting in on some University courses (Astr.110 and Physics 100) for the past year. He's not getting credit, but he IS getting that thirst quenched!
BTW, the paying students seem mostly to be proud of him, not confrontational. I think it's true that when there is such an age gap, there's less "turf" being stepped on. For ex.- my 8yr old is hardly going to be competition for the ladies!
