Please note that I am not anti-summer math at all, but let them learn new interesting material like discrete math topics or let them develop problem solving skills with math competition level problems. As you are on this forum, your kids must be brighter than the average bear so why would they need to spend double the time and repeat double the work?
Yes, I agree with you. It did not think this through clearly - they have taken pre algebra AoPS (except the younger one did not finish because she deliberately flunked out second semester). I should look to more advanced classes or problem solving classes. My main concern is that I read on this forum how poorly math is taught in public schools. I want to make sure my girls get a good foundation, and I struggle with how to get the younger one to take a class which she is going to not be happy about unless I can do a fantastic job of appealing to the practical side of her nature. So, I am appealing to you math people out there (I am so not a math person - I am in the arts)to help me figure out how to get my girls well educated in math.
