[quote=Anonymous]OP - this is truly a strange post…and the classic example of throwing the baby out with the bath water. You're tossing everything aside because of one subject - albeit an important one - but really?! This is rash and you most likely live to regret it. Before pulling your kid out on Monday (seriously…? before the 1st semester is even finished…?) research what the options are at your school for different levels as your child moves through the grades, possibilities to get more extensive work with the teacher (or maybe even another math teacher at the school) on the side and other programs to supplement. You might be pleasantly surprised that the programs will be stronger as your child ages.

Also, I'm sorry to say, but you need to sit back and question yourself and your analytical abilities and the problems they may cause for your child….you are sacrificing a program that is solid in all other areas which are just as important. It really won't matter if your kid can do math at every level if he's never been taught to properly analyze that information - what is he going to do with it, etc. etc. Writing and articulating an argument is just as important as math as he gets older. You have already indicated that your pubic option is not good in these areas so why in the world are you willing to sacrifice those important areas?! If your public option was a strong one in every area then the answer is easy (maybe not pulling him out mid-year though….terrible idea), but it's not so why are you even considering it.

Strange and short-sided. Help your kid in all areas of life… open your eyes.[/quote]
