[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I give my children extra math to make sure they stay at least two levels higher than their FCPS grades. I use Singapore math, various fun math books published in my home country (so they get to learn and remember the language as well), and supplement with a lot of free worksheets generated from softschools.com when I find poor understanding of a concept or weakness in a skill.

Why must they be two levels higher than their grades?[/quote]

PP here. I was only talking about math. It’s about 2 years behind the rest of the world. It would be a waste of my children’s life to follow the curriculum in schools.[/quote]

The rest of the world learns calculus in 10th grade?  Or 9th?  As a math major, that makes me sad to hear.  [/quote]

And because your professional educators are against homework, chances are you don’t have a solid foundation in math. Get a teaching position in a college and be prepared you will be scorned and corrected 20 times per lecture by international students. Or go and teach in public schools and hopefully you will help reverse the dumb down of this country.[/quote]
