[LM_NET] MID: Gifted Sixth grader advice

[Brenda Kahn <Labsnbooks@AOL.COM>]

Good evening all,

My Principal/ Superintendent was presented with a dilemma by the parents of a 
gifted sixth grader. Apparently, he taught himself high school algebra this 
past year, took a test somewhere and received an A. By the way, he has scored 
perfectly or near perfectly on all the state testing since grade 3. While our 
sending high school will accept advanced students into Algebra as eighth 
graders, there are no provisions for either sixth graders or students higher than 
algebra. 

He will be pulled out of regular math for enrichment as much as possible this 
year, but she was wondering if there is anything out there to use as a model.

Thanks in advance.
