[quote=Anonymous]If you consider Mathnasium visit a few of them in the area. They are franchises and operate very differently even though the materials are the same. There is one that is very strict and focused a lot on data and getting a kid to the "next level." They have a ton of rules about this and that. It is drill and kill but some kids need this and this location is good at this if you have a goal in mind and need to make sure certain material is covered. Another one we visited is much more relaxed. They seem to recognize that some kids have on days and off days and are very patient if a kid is stuck on a particular concept for a while. This second location was a better fit for our DC but  I could see how the first location would work better for a different type of kid or family. At our location there was a good mix of kids who were working way above grade level and at the center for fun, some kids who were struggling more, and a lot in the middle. These are kids who are doing fine in school and their parents wanted to keep it that way.[/quote]
