Hi Irena
I rec'd enVision thru DS public independent study program- which is why I have the full workbook and teacher editions/supplements and so on... for ALL subjects.
I believe there is a website where you can purchase the math workbook if you homeschool? I think just the workbook is the one available... It is thru Pearson. Perhaps you can research that and see? **As far as enVision goes you do not need the teacher ed or the supplemental 4pg color worksheets- which the teacher says is actually the true lesson with the workbook being the homework. (the workbook is actually labeled "interactive homework workbook"). The teacher ed is just as convoluted as the rest of the program is if you ask me. (I don't use it)
*which national achievement test did your DS take? was this done privately? our District will not accept any type of outside testing, and said testing is very pricey in this area. I just learned I can have DS take the olstat 8 at home... I am going to have a child developmental specialist I know administer it to him. It will be for my records only. Test is approx. $85. incl result (I send form back in), and it is scored via school grade norms vs age. (did I word that right?)
Anyhow. It is truly a shame that schools would not encourage and enable our kids to move ahead esp in a subject like math! What could possibly be the benefit of not letting them move forward at their own pace?
I hope the school will listen to you and place your DS where he needs to be
