Thank you NotSoGifted and master of none.I wish we could bring in science or history books; I tried mentioning this, but run into “math time is for math” excuse. She honestly believes that she is providing ds with a sound math background.
I think we will be ok with reading and books, as the teacher was ok with me sending books from home.
It should not surprise me that elementary school teachers are not prepared to deal with accelerated math. There have been several discussions here about teachers’ (un)preparedness to teach mathematics.
