I'm with you...
Both my kids were readers in Kindergarten. My oldest, now 2nd grade, is working fractions.
It's all relative to the school districts. That's why I sought out the BEST schools in the area and moved there!

My kids are getting a great public school education. Maybe its because I live in a rural area but my 7th grader is doing algebra, stuff that I didn't even do in high school! I'm seriously impressed!
Although I do understand the point. They don't teach "making change". My husband worked with high schoolers on a building trade project and he asked the whole class "who can tell me how to find the "center" of this square room?"
Not one kid could do it....that is sad....because its common sense.
