Not a bad idea as long as your daughter is willing. If she is going to drag her feet and not want to go she won't get a lot out of it IMO. Would she be in the same class as her sister? Would the two of them taking it together make it more fun or less? One of the things I've learned from this board is that gifted kids often can use study skill reinforcement. There often is a big difference between elementary and junior high. Particularly the change in having multiple teachers with different deadlines.
Ha! Yes, the sibling rivalry issue! I will ask them about taking it together. In almost all things we have signed them up in separate classes. Yet today at home they worked on math together happily!! Luckily their elementary school is set up like middle school. Both have been going to different teachers for elective and core classes(in different buildings even!)their whole elementary career. DD9 just needs loads more help with this (I have to be so proactive to make sure the right paper gets to the right teacher although I do see improvement since the grade acceleration!).
