[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel Singapore Math is pretty perfect. For some reason, teachers dont love it. Homeschooling parents love it.[/quote]
Homeschool mom of 4 here; did not love Singapore at all.  Still a believer that more drill is needed in the younger years (although I think they may have added some to the US version after we abandoned it).  Now moved on to AOPS.[/quote]

I cannot believe you say there are not enough drills in Singapore math. Beside the textbook, there is a workbook, then an extra workbook, and the word problems books,  these are not enough practice for you? Did you get the whole curriculum?

AOPS is not available for the littler kids. [/quote]

Perhaps this is why teachers (and homeschool moms with multiple kids to teach) don't love it. Extra practice is not [i]obviously[/i] built into the program; it seems supplemental. The regular workbook is not really for practice (it seems to me); it is a tool for assessment by the teacher of whether a child is understanding a particular concept and is ready to move on or whether you need to assign more practice from another book, worksheet, or problems you devise.[/quote]
