HSG – I’m referring to early enrollment. Starts in November. I know this and I don’t even have a child.
Also there are a myriad of students who are still struggling in those classes that you want to demand even more from. Its the burden of having a smart child in public school – it takes more time. If you feel like you are “wasting” 6 hours of school time, talk to the parents who are spending money on tutors and lots of time every day helping their kids stay above water. It’s public school – while they can’t teach to the lowest common denominator, they also can’t lob the ball above the heads of a large percentage of students who are just as entitled to a “fair” education as the “smart kids”.
So yeah. Suck it up. It all takes work. Not to say that you aren’t putting in the work, but since there seems to be no point to these posts other than complaining about your kids education. You do realize that your PTA is the place to get this done, right? What do you want from the fine people on these forums except to complain about how gifted your children are.
Here are some resources that some of my fellow students and I used to supplement my education through public school:
1) Running Start. You’ll be thankful when your kid graduates HIGH SCHOOL with an AA.
2) Kumon. Helped me stay above water and then some in math classes.
3) http://www.tutor.com/schools/programs/advanced-placement – You can get AP tutors to help your kid where they may not be offered in your actual school. They give you everything you need to take the tests and get college credit/test out of things so you can get into Running Start even faster! Have I plugged Running Start enough?
