Anyway - I guess my point is, I like supplementing at home versus pushing too fast at school. Push as fast as you have to - don't get me wrong. But do explore the options of ALEKS and other online programs. If they work, they might give you more options to choose from.


Mayreeh - did you find your son getting frustrated when things were at a slower pace at school? My DS7 is PG as well and is currently grade skipped one grade (in 3rd) and goes to 5th grade for math. But 5th grade is way too easy as well. They let him do a computer program that goes up to 8th grade every morning for about 20 minutes and he is almost done with that program so not sure what they are going to do next. He doesn't complain about the pace, because he isn't really a complainer about academics and enjoys the social piece and everything else. But I just wonder how he is handling the slow pace of it all and all the repetition.
