You're right. In reality, I'd like more depth which would in itself be and acceleration. The only problem is our elementary program isn't likely to do that. The depth in our system comes in the form of going to the next level. I cross-referenced the 2nd grade skills with the 3rd grade. About 1/2 of them overlap with the 3rd grade just going into more depth. Ugh! Middle school seems to do a much better job of going ito true depth and provides actual hands on learning on a more regular basis.
So I'm thinking that if I accelerate him through this elementary stuff then he'll be able to get to the good stuff earlier.
I wish I could blink my eyes and create the perfect program for him. Dreams
