I'm sorry Irena. I did not mean to highjack the thread.
cc6 - In Feb, I put DS in EPGY math afterschool so he would have SOME math exposure. It started March 1. He was SOOOOO frustrated with math at school. He had to sit for an hour a day listening to the teacher explain work he had already completed. I signed up for the individual program (3 months) just to see what it was like. Within the 3 months, DS finished grades 1, 2, and 3. Not only that, but he was engaged in the online class - answering questions, etc. At school, he was getting in trouble for lack of focus and for working ahead. The last day of EPGY was also the last day of our school. So he finished 1st (B&M school) and 3rd (EPGY) at the same time.
Oh don't apologize! Not a hijack at all - it's the information this thread requests!
My DS was getting in tons of trouble for lack of focus and for working ahead last year in math. I can relate. I am nervous about this year. They piloted two programs in DS' math class last year - Singapore and Envision and they picked Envision as THE curriculum. I am trying to figure out under which one DS did better.. one of them had an enrichment center and that worked nicely for him... I am hoping that is ENvision because at least that was a BIG hit with him. I have already started advocating though - I have already started pushing and school hasn't even started yet. Last year was about getting him his accommodations ... this year's battle will apparently be about getting him enrichment and some advancement in math. I am already known as a true PITA (and perhaps worse) so I have nothing to lose and hopefully they will decide to help rather than hinder earlier... They know I will not go away quietly.
