Mine are in a charter school that has an accelerated curriculum meaning that it is basically one year advanced.

I was a bit cynical on it truly being one year ahead until my wife and I visited the local elementary school which is considered a pretty good elementary school in Union County. We visited when the 3rd graders were doing math and my wife and I stopped and just looked at each other. The counselor giving us the tour asked us what was the matter. We informed her that our children had already completed the math lessons being taught. She then reassured us that there were some timing differences in curriculum delivery. We then told her that our children were not in 2nd grade. Not third.

That said, don't really think our kids are exceptional brainiacs but I do think they adapt to what they know. In this instance they have adapted to the accelerated program and do fairly if not quite well. It is a bit harder on the parents and the child most likely but we are conditioned to it and will be better off in the long run. I don't like some of the things but the alternative scared me

Not sure if this is what you wanted to know. Ping me if you have other questions

Like any other school, some are good and some lacking.

Mine have been in charter school since 1st and now in 7th and 9th. Multiple language classes over the years.

Schools are like gyms. The more you go and if you use all the tools available you get out what you out in.

Keep doing homework until you find what you are looking for.

My son placed into the gifted program. He's in 2nd grade and consistently test 2 grades ahead in reading and math . I'm trying to decide if we should move him to the magnet for advanced kids where he is given advanced material all day and guarantees placement in the IB program or keep him where he is and the pull him out for only an hour a day.

Cons of the magnet are distance and it's partial magnet and in a low income underperforming school which causes some concerns socially.

We've been planning on moving to that zone because our middle school is unacceptable. Still might.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
