I agree that forging ahead is the best option for many of our kids. If they enter a mainstream high school in the future, some courses may have to be repeated for credit, but the subject familiarity from their earlier exposure will serve them well in earning top grades.

I have been reading the book, �What High Schools Don�t Tell You� by Elizabeth Wissner-Gross. I am interested in the math and science talent development information rather than some of the more contrived tips. The advice for math seems like the next steps following �Developing Math Talent�. Essentially, I now understand that excelling in the school math sequence in never enough for distinction beyond a very small area! My son is learning this lesson well with his AoPs class- he is defiantly not the smartest in that class! Obviously to some it is still too easy, but many of the fastest students have �trained� for math similar to our summer swim schedule which has meant up to three times in the pool on some days!
