<p>The approach that we’ve taken of constant repetition/drilling of basic concepts that a child has obviously grasped already and trying to keep everyone at the same level is killing kids’ math potential. I homeschooled in kindergarten. My kid had obviously grasped addition and subtraction of numbers of any size. We moved on to multiplication and division. It was not difficult for her. We need to let kids who are ready to move ahead do so, and not force those who are not ready.</p>
