The math "strategies" they teach my kid are counter-intuitive and hard to remember. Fortunately they're more relaxed around here and don't care whether he uses them or not.

But to demand your son does things their way, or fail??? What kind of anti-education policy is that???

I think a good public school education is better for a kid than homeschooling (in most cases), but I'd be thinking of doing it if I were in your shoes, too.
