Has your school district or teaching staff been talking about the "new Common Core" standards?
These are new standards in language arts (reading, writing, listening, speaking) and math. The goal was for these standards to be accepted nationwide so that our students' education was more similar instead of some states outperforming others. At this point about 40 states have approved the Common Core standards and required their teachers to teach them.
Here is a short video that gives some background:
