Our school district uses this same math software. If one wished to design an experience to instill a hatred of mathematics into children, it would be a pretty solid approach.

We've informed teachers, nicely but firmly, that we will not be doing any of it at home. Some of them have pushed back, but barring any real consequence, I am not going to subject anyone to this counterproductive torment.

From the article:

> A teacher, faced with a bored student, would not force them to pay rapt attention to an identical lesson 30 times in a row, 5 days a week, for the entirety of the school year.

The nice part of doing it as homework is that if it's boring and the kid runs away, it's a parent failure instead of a teacher problem.
