I bet she knows more than you think she does of the math curriculum than you realize

Oh, I think that she either already knows, or could know with minimal effort, the vast majority of it. She just doesn't know now material she's never been exposed to.

I don't think it would be at all difficult to get a SA for math for next year, if DD wanted it. (I think she could get through all of 5th grade, and maybe more, by the end of the summer, if she really wanted it. When that girl puts her mind to something, she really flies.) I just don't know if that would improve the situation, or if she'd still be bored, but also be conspicuous.
