[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]because my ES kids are basically treading water as far as learning new material. [b]That means we either turn family time into supplement time [/b]or just accept it. Meanwhile their friends in catholic school are back full time and moving at a normal pace. It infuriates me that an adequate education is now wholly dependent on the ability to pay [/quote]

Well, this is the reality of many involved parents  who consider themselves an equal partner with the school system and sit and go over the day's lesson with their children and supplement. Education also needs to happen at home.  Else, you will be raising brain-dead losers  like Trump, Rudy and Proud Boys. [/quote]

[b]We heavily supplemented in ES before covid.  ES curriculum is very slow and they don't teach many things[/b].[/quote]

True.  Just the arithmetic curriculum was so slow, confusing and ill-taught that it was unbelievable.  I supplemented at home and my kids had mastered multiplication tables, long divisions and multiplication by end of 2nd grade.  I saw many, many kids so lacking in basic foundational knowledge by 3rd and  4th tgrade hat everything after that - long division, fractions, word problems, percentages, ratios, exponents become Greek to them.  And word problems? Dear GOD!!

Most parents are unable to teach their kids Maths because they themselves do not know the basics.
