What I would do is take her up on her comment and ask to bring in your own supplies. I did this with my son for 3 years until we got into a situation where the school was able to take over. Math books, writing/grammar/spelling materials, books etc.

We did some of this as well.

The problem is, many young kids are not motivated or independent enough to do their own work without assistance. DS was, but his teachers noted that he was an exception even for gifted kids.
