And also -- how do these parents ostensibly know the choice? [/quote]

Looking online... I can't tell whether it has actual textbooks. There are these workbook things, but they seem rather thin:

Wait... this is supposed to be 5th grade? My 4th grader who is in compacted math did this earlier this year (so 4th grade equivalent). Yikes. [/quote]

Wait…This is a 5th grade concept. If your child who is in compacted math did it earlier, it is because they had already moved in to 5th grade curriculum. And this is why parents shouldn’t have a say in curriculum…[/quote]

Right, my kid is in the on-grade-level 5th grade math and this looks like something they did early in the year.  So it would have been covered in 4th grade compacted math. [/quote]
