Is your DC struggling or are you pushing? And if you're pushing, why?  Because 2nd grade math isn't "rigorous" enough for you?  [/quote]
DP.  What a weird question to ask, considering that schools are closed and the distance learning is inadequate in many schools.  Since we're all stuck doing distance learning, it's reasonable for people to pick the distance learning platform that works best for their kids.  BA is great for distance learning, but it's not at all suitable for kids who are struggling.

Except that OP posted in 2017, so COVID was probably not the reason for her situation.

If someone is homeschooling, I'd suggest using another curriculum (Singapore is great.  I also like Math Mammoth) and then using BA as a supplement.  If someone is asking about supplementing school, then I'd suggest BA.  In my experience teaching your second grader basic third grade math at home, is just going to make third grade more boring.  It won't make them move faster or be smarter.  Teaching them to use 2nd grade math to solve problems that go deeper and make them think harder, which is what the 2nd grade level BA does, is a great thing for a smart kid who likes math.
