I don't think acceleration is always no good for children. It depends. If your son likes math, he may consider solving math problems a funny thing, not a burn. My daughter interests in math a lot. She usually does math exercises online for fun. These beestar worksheets are all timed and there are many kids using it. So it is quite challenging if her name wants to appear on the honor roll. Maybe your son can have a try with the Gifted Talented Math program. Don't worry too much. He will be fine with the math acceleration thing. smile
