For what it's worth, I wasn't trying to excuse the math or the jargon, which is terrible. But at least simple addition and subtraction problems sound like something a beginning first grader might be able to handle, particularly after a month of studying the jargon. I could probably teach my son to do that in an afternoon or two. That level of reading, though, seems completely insane to expect one month into first grade!
