Yes its public education at its finest. My husband and I have been trying to work with the school but they don't return calks or pass it off to someone else. His teacher says he doesn't know it so he will keep doing it over and over until she believes he has mastered it.I'm about ready to give up like him but won't. I refuse to make him do hours of homework every night as I believe he still needs to be a kid and outside playing and being active.
