Stacey,
My kids are 8 (4th grade) and 11 (6th grade) and 2nd grade seems a long time ago. But here's the link to 2nd grade curriculum at Texas school.
https://www.roundrockisd.org/index.aspx?page=2567I had my shares of discontent with the curriculum. But across the board, 1st and 2nd grade are close and a lot of kids cruise through it. 3rd grade is a jump from 2nd grade. Creative writing usually starts in 3rd grade.
I know it is frustrating when your kid can multiply and do fraction, the homework they have to do is double digit addition and subtraction.
When you are advocating, it is best not tell them what other school districts are doing. (they will become defensive). Look at the district policy about subject acceleration or grade skipping. And take SCAT from CTY (John Hopkins). They do take 2nd graders. When you are armed with great IQ scores and 2 grade above level tests like SCAT, the administrators are more receptive. At least it works for me. (probably easier since you are also an educator) My DD got to do Khan academy and do it at her own pace while her classmates doing 3 digits subtraction.
Good luck!
