[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different parents choose different forms of math enrichment for their kids. Mine is pretty good at math, so I can help with anything she needs, if she cannot get clarity with help from YouTube videos or Khan Academy.

Some of my friends and relatives have used Kumon. What I have found is that especially as they get older, kids don't like Kumon and its 1000 worksheets, and will eventually stop, usually around upper Elementary. IME, Kumon kids get very good at arithmetic, doing it quickly and accurately, which helps them out in the long run.

Others go to Mathnesium or equivalents, where there is more one on one help, and I believe costs more. Still others go to AoPS and RSM, which are still more expensive. So, the expenditure depends on what resources you are using.[/quote]

RSM is not more expensive then Mathnasium and the like, I have seen the monthly bills for those programs. It is set up differently, it is a 2 hour class once a week with homework instead of 2 times a week drop ins. The programs are different, one is a class while the other is small work groups.

Look for the program that works best for your child and for your schedule. A lot of the programs have scholarships, I know RSM does. [/quote]
