independent study thru district - 06/11/13 06:34 PM
wondering if anyone is doing independent study thru their local school district, meaning teaching child at home, but using district provided curriculum, teachers etc ?
more to the point- is the child allowed to work at their own pace? can the curriculum be accelerated? can the the child test out ie take end of year math test, and then do the math book to learn gaps etc as needed?
if the child finishes the years wok early, before end of school year- are they allowed to take "final" tests and begin next grade level?
thanks in advance
just trying to learn how different districts operate their independent study programs...
((DS is in independent study, and while allowed to work at his own pace, he isn't necessarily allowed to skip ahead or finish early. still learning how it works here as well.
thanks again
