[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like it's good at being accelerated beyond the crappy public school elementary math curriculum, but I think they don't get deep into the conceptual understanding.  So students can do a lot of impressive things for their age level, but I'm not convinced there is a really deep, fundamental understanding of what's happening and why.  [/quote]

We have had a pretty good experience at RSM North Bethesda, but this is my finishing 4th grader’s current complaint.  They show you how to do it but not why.  She didn’t have this complaint last year in 3rd grade.  She has always enjoyed going, but now doesn’t want to continue for 5th (and we will not force her).  I think the difference is that this year her school math class is fun, interesting and engaging, which is a first for her in MCPS.  Now that school math is interesting she doesn’t really want to bother with RSM too.  But it was good for a kid who was really bored in 2nd and 3rd grade MCPS math.[/quote]
