What does she say about aops? As standalone or supplement? Just wondering because WTMA uses it alongside SM.
As a stand-alone option.

Did BFSU make the cut? MCT? AoPS?
BFSU-no
MCT-no
AoPS-yes, listed under Logic and Rhetoric math suggestions, no beast academy mention that I saw.

Bumping this for you. I was also thinking they might work well together. Hopefully someone can weigh in.

Have you seen The Rhythm of Handwriting cursive workbook? (Part of the Logic of English curriculum but can be purchased separately)
This is an excerpt from their website:
Cursive Program Highlights:
All lowercase letters begin on the baseline.
Uppercase letters only connect to the next letter if they end on the baseline.
The capital Q has been simplified to reflect the manuscript version.
Letter formation is closely matched to the manuscript font to facilitate ease in transition from one to another.

It seems like everyone here, including myself, are baffled as to why you would want to hold back a child that is not only doing fine academically but doing well.
I sympathize with your husband, but he skipped a grade. That is not really relevant here because your son did not skip a grade.
If you go to the middle school or high school in your town and walk into a random class and have everyone announce their birthdays there will be kids older and younger. Some almost a year older than others. That happens everywhere. Your son isn't going to be the only kid with a summer birthday. There will be plenty.
I also have a summer birthday, which means I turned 18 after I graduated. I was also one of the smallest kids in my grade at 4'11" and 90lbs. I have literally been this same height and weight since I hit puberty in 7th grade. (Well except for when I was pregnant of course) It never mattered, no one ever treated me like a baby because we were all the same grade. No one but my closer friends knew when my birthday was anyway.

ETA: Room has a lot of sensitive topics. The main characters are a 5 year old boy (Jack) and his mom. The mom has been kidnapped and Jack is a result of rape by her captor. She also mentions that she had a miscarriage before Jack, and tries to commit suicide about 3/4 of the way through the book. It's told from the perspective of Jack who sees nothing wrong with living in 'Room' because he has never seen 'Outside' so it's not a super dark and depressing book, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
