[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is any public school actually using a curriculum with student workbooks? Ours does phonics, secret stories, heggarty, but from what I can there is no set textbook or workbook. They do literacy exercises on the tablet or Chromebook, and whatever writing or phonics work I see on paper is clearly just printed off from a TPT type of website. Same with math! Aren’t kids supposed to be working math on paper in a student workbooks? Our school send home a photocopied sheet of homework once a week and there’s no textbook to go over material or explain anything if DD struggles (which she hasn’t so far, but should there be something available at home for me to help her if necessary?).

Our school uses Envision for math. It's a workbook. However, the workbook stays at school, so I only see stuff when they teacher send a bunch of completed pages home every so often. DS also does a lot of work on his Chromebook because he's quite a bit ahead of the rest of the class. A somewhat frustrating situation.

For ELA they use CKLA. So a detailed curriculum, but no workbook. The teacher prints off the worksheets for the day. Worksheets come home each day. Plus, CKLA is available online so hypothetically, I could look up the material at any point.[/quote]
