Our DD (11) is grade skipped one year and further accelerated in class another 2 years in Maths. She aces every class and her only real challenge is staying motivated given the stultifyingly slow pace of everything. We are not going to send her to college early and have no desire to push for further acceleration because of this.
May God forgive us but we aftershool to keep her learning and she earned her first honest B during the DYS online Composition class - she worked harder for that B than any A she has ever had - except those from the AoPS classes that she has taken.
Group work which the school insists on can still be challenging but DD has also navigated the stupid middle school girl stuff not too badly so far. The social side of school and learning to advocate for herself are all we expect her to get out of middle school.
