Short answer- to give older dc a little more prep for rigorous middle school especially in math, and younger dc likes doing it and needs to tag along anyway. [ Reply | More

She doesn't love it, but we don't make a big deal out of it, and it will help decrease academic anxiety in September. [ Reply | More
