Thanks for your replies, everyone.
Quantum, I guess the problem is that I've had year after year of advocating for differentiation for my kid without her actually getting any, and now the areas where she needs differentiation the most (even though she's one of the top in her other subjects as well) is being extended, time wise, and lumped together, so she basically has 2 hours and 5 minutes straight of being bored and being told to free read. Hey, I like to free read as much as the next bookworm, but it's not what I want for my kid every day.
I think you're right, though, that acceleration won't fix that.
I suspect I'm getting my typical back-to-school anxiety as I gear up for another year.
