[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to a "top public" and I consider myself basically at 30-50% homeschool. I taught him to read in K, supplemented with math over 1st grade summer, and now have had to add some spelling book work into the mix. He goes to outside math now, since his 2nd grade teacher shared a curriculum link that explained that they are only expected to add within 20 by the end of the year, and "recognize" three digit numbers. At some point we will have to add writing. I assume most other parents have not read the curriculum details, because many are not doing additional math. I am horrified, and I went to a crappy public.[/quote]

We were in a similar situation, and after years of saving our kids are now at private. It's not even a top private, and the difference is night and day. My kids were in advanced math and the math in public is the only thing that is close to the regular track our private offers (and our private also offers some math acceleration, though probably not enough for the most advanced kids).

At one point my H said, "If we just send them to private, will you stop supplementing so much?" and I was like "YES!" and it has been true.[/quote]

I would love to know what workbooks or resources they use in private. Do they use Chromebooks/iPads in elementary school? [/quote]
