Perhaps you can tell me this Dottie,and anyone else who has math eduction experience, I get the impression that many teachers think it's just awful to actually go too far ahead in math taking no stock of a kid who is clearly interested and capable. It seems if they would rather have the children to logic and story problems as nauseum. I have no problem with logic/story problems, but what's the problem with letting the child go ahead and do the critical problem solving stuff?
We'll be having a meeting in a month or so to decide whether DD8 continues to leave school for math or stays when honors math starts. All the info I have indicates that she is ahead of honors math, although, it's not dreadful........
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially if you've already been here and could guide me in what to say....However, any advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks!
