He does understand. I've shown him on You Tube how rigid and rigorous many other countries are for grade school. Actually, I don't think that is the way to go but he did get the idea.
Last week for homework my son had to "name polygons." They connected the dots and drew rays. He named his first polygon after himself and the second one after his friend.
I thought he was goofing off but that actually was the homework! It was so they feel "good" about shapes and geometry.
so..... It's great that my child is being prepared for the global economy!
Supposedly if your child is good at math and takes the honors math all the way through, they will take Geometry in 8th grade, Algebra II in 9th grade, ?Pre-calc in 10th grade, AP AB calculus in 11th grade, and AP BC calculus in 12th grade. So that is really very good. Maybe it just starts really slow or something.
