[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fix the curriculum for your own child.  Ed Hirsch's books, Beestar.Org, aleks.com, khan academy, Great Courses.  All provide guidelines, coursework, etc.  Look at the curriculum from the best school districts in the US. [/quote]

We can't. we have demanding jobs, work travel, and have to manage clients plus junior teams. But when we're home we're in the present. 
But I cannot also be home-schooling my kids at night and weekends - we want to do fun stuff.  My K'r comes home beat tired from 7 hours in ES, and this was after age 2,3 and 4 in 9am-3pm montessorri program. No way she is going to want to do singapore math or learn cursive.  We chat, do art, sometimes soccer, plan the weekend.

We are going to have to look at other schooling options. But first I am having an hour long mtg with the principal to confirm how things are done or not done. [/quote]

There is no need to home school your kids at night and on the weekends if they are the least bit naturally intelligent. What is with all of these parents who think they need to supplement so much?  Are they that far behind? If you don't think your kids are learning enough for your standards, then just have them read more at home. If your K'er comes home beat tired from 7 hours in ES, why do you think that is? Because he's sitting around all day staring at a Chromebook? Of course not! Use some common sense, please.
