delbows, it does intimidate me to forge ahead when they're so young (I think of how much info I forgot from age 8 or 9 versus 12 or 13). But, I have to believe that moving forward is the right thing, right?
Well, what's the alternative? I honestly don't see one! If you're doing problem-solving type stuff, you're already going deeper, not just faster. Short of not doing math for a while, you don't really have an option, do you?
It's scary--just thinking about it makes me nervous--but if you're sticking even a little to the traditional math path, I don't see any other option.
