Yes, if it's a matter of unchallenging math curriculum in general, then we are seriously in trouble here. The school says it meets each child at their level, but now I'm wondering. Not seeing it much yet.

Perhaps if this PTC doesn't produce an agreeable solution, we should ask for the principal to intervene? During the orientation I asked what happens to the eighth grader who needs high school level work. She said she teaches them. (She's a former high school math teacher.)

I'm not loving the prospect of this not being a viable solution for DS. It would absolutely mean homeschooling. Since he's an only child in a rural setting with limited contact with other kids, this would be brutal. frown Perhaps an online school's community would make up for that lack, but I'm not sure.
