But the progress is satisfying. We are going to take a few months off as soon as we get done with these grade levels. They send a course CD and the kid listens to lectures by a math professor on the disk and works through the questions using the computer. This has been great for my son who prefers to type on the computer rather than write with a pencil. There are options where you can choose how much review the child will do throughout the course.
Some parents choose very little review and move through the course VERY quickly.
Which is great for starting the child below or at grade level and then later slowing down and being more thorough as the child hits their skill ability level. Just wanted to take some time to share something that I think is unbelievably cool. My 7yod has worked through 2nd, 3rd, and is halfway through 4th grade. My 9yos worked through 3rd, 4th, and is halfway through 5th. I would not have had the GUTS to put my kids in a program called The Educational Program for Gifted Youth.
