[quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised that my 1st grader is still getting homework like "12-5 = ___" and "rank these items pictured in order from biggest to smallest." In kindergarten, the school is asking kids to draw circles to answer simple addition (2+3 = ___). When my oldest kid was in kindergarten in a downcounty school 5 years ago, he was already starting to regroup and doing triple-digit addition (like 123 + 456 + ___). But yet my 1st grader hasn't gotten close to what his brother was doing a year earlier, and my younger kid is actually better at math than the older kid. It's frustrating for my little one and for me. I know that the new curriculum is slowing things down, but is our experience normal? It seems a little odd to have kids doing such simple work when they are more than capable of moving ahead. Teacher just shrugs and blames it on the curriculum. [/quote]
