"Lockhart's Lament" is great! Thanks for sharing.
As a non-mathy person, I need to ask the advice of you math folks. DS6's school just switched to Math Expressions this year. I'm curious if anyone has heard anything of it. It seems OK, based on the worksheets that DS6 brings home. He gets math compacted for him, and he's at 2nd or 3rd grade level, but he also does the kindergarten stuff too, since the math teacher comes at a different time. He doesn't mind the kindergarten stuff, and he likes his daily math class (although I think he could handle more). Not knowing much about math, it seems to include a little bit of both the EM-type world plus the standard stuff I remember from school.
The only comparison we have is EPGY math, which DS found quite dull (and I agree with him). I think we made the mistake of not wanted to have gaps, so we started him too low. But his school math does seem more fun for a 6yo.
