My daughter is currently in the 5th grade.  She started Trail Blazers
in the 4th grade.  Now, we did come out of a private school from Pre-K
- 3.  So there was a lot of new info for us to absorb. 

Trail Blazers is a waste of time, in my opinion.  I'm a single parent
and have to get my daughter to do her 'stupid' homework from Trail
Blazers, then teach her 'real' math on my own.  Our time is limited to
2 hours in the evening, so along with all other homework, we do our
own as well.  

It's frustrating, but I refuse to allow Trail Blazers to fail her in
math.  

Also, she was at the top of her class in math, she is now on the
bottom.  Sad to see that such a stupid book can cause so many
problems.
