Thanks for the explanation. It is still strange... but well... Programs... Sometimes I would love to write them myself... ;)

haha, that is why I am quite glad to be a private teacher!
I do not have to bow to any institution made of people that do not really understand how student minds work. I have programs that I follow (the one that they study for exams), but I approach them in a smoother way and give them more (the excitement). In addition, when relevant and if I know the student will be receptive, I go further (for example, I may talk a little about other quantum numbers, so that the symmetries in the standard model start to make sense to them.)
Basically, I prepare them also for Uni (I always inform parents and students of these objectives though).
The major problem with programs is that even if the content is nice, it is often way too long for the amount of time we have for the course... :(
