Yes the curriculum compacting is a joke. I am at the point where I want to take over the math instruction. DS7 skipped 1st and in second the class works out of the 3rd grade reading book, science and social studies are 2nd grade. He is doing 3rd grade math from the old book, not GO Math, but even though the teacher is supposed to be compacting, it consists mostly doing the even or odd number questions only instead of every question. I don't really like the book either, the instructions are confusing and he is challenged by the instruction and not the material. I really would like to just take over with Singpore Math and have him do homework at school during math time. Still thinking through how to approach this.
