[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continue with RSM or switch to AoPS. APS middle school math instruction is abysmal.[/quote]

Not our experience at all. I’d drop the supplementing and see how it goes. My kids have gotten good instruction (Gunston), and when they occasional don’t understand something, I go over it with them. [/quote]

What curriculum did your child use at Gunston?

(IXL isn’t a curriculum, btw)[/quote]
APS doesn't use a curriculum.  They do have IXL for practice problems.[/quote]

Well, for geometry they used a physical textbook (I don’t recall the author), but not for pre-algebra & algebra. But it wasn’t/isn’t all IXL.. lots of stuff on paper, too. [/quote]

Math education shouldn’t be a gamble — whether your child’s teacher found good resources from Teachers Pay Teachers (or not)[/quote]

It's like this in Virginia because VA doesn't follow common core. So talk to VA, it's APS's fault[/quote]

You can argue who is at fault, but you can’t argue that it’s solid math education.[/quote]
