Gah - didn't read all the replies but this brought back unpleasant memories when my kid was in ES. (He's a junior now.) Our district was glazing ST Math and I thought for once my kid would get some math at his level. Nope. It is clearly for kids who are not at grade level - and certainly not for kids who are 1+ years ahead.

His teacher wouldn't let anyone level up. It was a mindless, torturous activity for my kid. Sometimes I let him do other stuff and just did it myself so he wouldn't HATE math.

Move to a different school district and/or drop kick the computer off a tall building.

In all seriousness I wish I could give you a hack - but it was awful for my kid in first grade - and she has a strong number sense. I see how it can work with some kids, but I disagreed with the 100% correct to move on aspect - especially when the program was glitchy. All it did was frustrate my kid.

I don't seem to hear much about ST Math from my kid anymore. Do they still use this program? Are they going to retire it soon, recognizing it as the gimmick it was?

But he absolutely never did it as homework. There didn't seem to be any conmoods

This. Just ask for something else to your child to do. My kid's class uses math playground, the kids all say it's more games than math.

DC is capable of waaaaay more advanced math and is being forced to start at a level well below DC's skill level (new to FCPS). What is this torture? What can I do? I was thinking he could plow through this at home to get to a more appropriate level but that seems like it's going to take a long boring time.

Help! DC enjoys math and I would like for school time to be spent actually learning something new.

Not true. My son complained about it in both first and second grader, especially in second grade.

The program was really glitchy back then and caused him to have to repeat levels incessantly for manual mistakes unrelated to math (he has a physical disability).
To the teacher?


Yes, he has dyspraxia, so they treated it like an accommodation, and he did other math work on paper instead. Advanced in math, so it was a physical issue.

I told my kid to do it in school if he had to, because sometimes we have to do crappy things.
But he absolutely never did it as homework. There didn't seem to be any consequences for that.

Talk to the school. Ours uses ST math once a week for like 15 minutes. My older kid doesn't use it at all, they have a different program.

You can decline specific programs in the technology agreement. Decline ST math, write to the company and tell them that you do not agree to their terms and services or to their privacy policy. That should end your kid's access to the program
