"In Intellectual Mathematics a topic is introduced only when the student can be convinced of the value of doing so."

If I understand this correctly, you cannot bend the approach to the teaching of any particular topic (e.g. what's in your son's homework this week). Rather you would have to bite the bullet and teach your own parallel course, abandoning the school curriculum to the teachers.

It’s already practically abandoned, he has only to pass “exams” twice a year, which is quite easy for him and doesn’t take much time. He finished second grade in February.

It doesn’t bring much understanding, though. It’s hard to create parallel curriculum for my kids, while I have my startup running. And the war isn’t helping either, with air alerts and rockets/drones trying to strike Kyiv seemingly every night.

Would be helpful to have concrete examples, directions, etc.
