Accelerate at the speed he needs. Do this outside of school. I don't think my son has learned any math in school since the second grade, and that was only because of a wonderful gifted teacher who really knew how to differentiate. We've used EPGY, AoPS, and other online courses, as well as checking text books out of the library for him read on his own. He would have never been at the level of math he is now if we had waited for the school.
I think that's wonderful for a kid who is in to that. I wonder how does that work with his Math classes? Does he just do the grade level Math he is in at school? Has there been much confusion with different Methods? Does he do the work at school and not mind doing it?
When my son comes home from school I want him to play and go to sports. It really helps him to get outside and burn off some energy. If I could get him out of his 30 mins. of homework that could work for him.
I really want Math (& more) to get fixed in school. I could see him doing a online Math enrichment in future summers. This summer, I want him to do online writing class. I think this could give him opportunites in to advance in other subjects where they might expect writing abilities like Science.
