Sorry, I'm sure a lot of people will be sighing 'not another education thread', but this is more from a primary level than the other recent thread which was more about secondary education and the lack of respect kids had.
I would just be really interested to hear what people think about the way their kids are being taught maths at primary level. I mentioned once before that when we arrived a year ago, my 8 year old, who was fairly average at maths in the UK, had been put into a year 7 maths group here, which was 3 years above her age group! With every other aspect of their education, I am very happy (their reading and writing has come on tremedously). However, they are barely being taught maths at all. They have been back for a week and have done no maths at all yet! Maths lessons are taught in the afternoon when the kids are tired and as they have daily swimming lessons for the next 5 weeks, which will clash with maths, they will be doing barely no maths until the end of March.
What I need to know is if it's just this particular school, or do other people have any issues about how much maths they're getting.
Thanks
Kate
