My kid was 2 when he started reading phonetically (having learned all letters and sounds when he was 1). However, children need to be able to sit down and do math, period. We don't do all of the math bc I have an eng background and know 80 probs a night is not necessary. I really don't know where you worked but I challenged it and my Kumon owner was responsive and modified the strategies and approach. The sad part is the parents felt like they were doing god's work by paying $200 a month for this crap. The whole system's intention is to turn your youth into accepting robots that can't speak out. The schooling produces calculating machines based upon repetition (the most basic form of mind control) and even the english department was such a joke that they were taught and supervised by inept adults and teens that thought being a grammar nazi was the end-all of the subject.Īnd throughout my 4 years of working and many more years of being a half-assed student there, I can not mention once instance where a student nor parent questioned the system or anything along those lines. I saw so many gifted children being forced into small boxes of thought processes, and if they excelled at it they were just given more small boxes to compute in.Īside from the homework which no one can take seriously or be enthusiastic about, many students would come in, sit down and do their in-class work within 30 minutes, walk up to a correction officer (lol) turn their papers in, go back to their seat, and do corrections of their previous homework (man it hurts just typing this) all while being COMPLETELY SILENT. Like nana053 mentioned, kumon is downright "boring and rote." This probably won't be considered helpful to you but I used to tutor and correct in kumon centers back in high school.
