This will only make sense if you follow my other posts about the math situation with DS1:

Regarding that summer class--it starts on June 5 and finished on August 7. So he has about 2 months. Because he has to take a year's worth of math (with apparently no adjustments) he will need to study 8 hours a day to complete it all. Fun summer, eh? Oh and it starts while he is still in school. Although I'm grateful that his school is "letting him" have this opportunity, I'm kind of incensed that the old requirement was to take a 45 minute math proficiency test--placing him in the higher math and that now they are being absolute sticklers about making sure that he has this official coursework. I think there should be some adjustment for the fact that there is a lot of repetition and review from year to year. This is going to be a really tough sell. I'm honestly not sure it will be worth the effort...I'm still feeling that boiling pit of upset about the whole thing.
