Public school fail. A vent.

My kiddo is in 5th grade and testing at a 9th grade level in math, college in reading. He's in the accelerated program at his school but I look through his work and they aren't challenging him in math. He's bored and I found out his teacher lets him read most of the day. I asked her about some outside resources for math as he wants more and more. He asked me for math books for xmas... I got an attitude from his teacher, just like I got an attitude two years ago when I asked, telling me he has plenty to do and he's doing it.

I was much more careful approaching it this time, and still got shot down. I want him to have the challenge he wants, but I am not good at math. He goes through a thicc book in three days, so thankful for the library. I'm feeling stuck. Obviously a 5th grade teacher with a class of kids is not going to teach algebra to just my kid, but I thought they would have connections within the education system? Maybe through the community college? I'd take him to classes or help him do an online course. Is that ridiculous of me?

This kid is hungry for knowledge, why not open a door for him?
