to 家有家规, just in case you do not see

my comments. 

If you have lived in the midwest,  you will have to re-consider that "your child is good at maths". Being good at maths in other places is quite different from NY or CA. I know multiple examples that the kids in our state (not midwest, an even more lagged state) were leaders in math teams and get state maths prizes in mid-school. After transferring to CA or NY city, they suddently drop from top tier to mid-tier. Kids felt really difficult to accept the facts and had struggled. Most of them gave up maths; not necessarily they were not good enough, but mostly because they had difficult time to understand the transition as kids. If their family stayed in our place, they would still likely be the top maths students. My suggestion is to wait a semester and see if your kid is ok with his current speed. 

Of course if your kid is truly good at maths, it will be different.

• 8年级学代数1在中西部属于慢班进度。应该不是Top学生。中西部的娃中学玩奥数竞赛和在州大修课的到大学都没问题包括顶尖私校和公校。 -吹着吹着就牛了- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/15/2019 postreply 15:49:38

• 数学可真不能用这个来衡量好坏。数学学的比较迟后，可能也是数学牛娃，只是时候还没到 -和畅- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/15/2019 postreply 16:05:10
