[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's popular among public school parents, too.
If this post is serious: Pick the one you like best. (We did Kumon when DC was in public school, now DC's in private.)
Four can work but a friend did it and her child is way ahead of the rest of his classmates. 
As I ask parents of young children: Where's the fire?[/quote]

Really good point, OP here, we ae considering immesion school and we don't want DC to behind in English and learning math in English.[/quote]

Doing immersion is no impediment to doing math. Once the kids know enough of the immersion language, it doesn't matter whether math is taught in english or in the immersion language.  By 1st grade, kids know enough of the immersion language to do the basic math taught in 1st grade in any school.  In MoCo, they let immersion and non-immersion kids do math up to 2 years ahead.   Also, immersion teachers will tell you that doing immersion may slow down your english acquisition at first, but eventually the immersion kids equal and even exceed non-immersion kids in english language schools.  This is because learning a second language helps you understand the grammar and subtleties of the first language.[/quote]
