[quote=Anonymous]DC is 6th grade, and has been taking some Python class (tutor:student=1:1 or 1:2) for more than a half year. We are not sure how effective this class is. It is coding school, but the assigned tutor is a high schooler, and the other day, the tutor could not help fixing DC's coding. I see AOPS has online Python classes and the intro class has only 12 lessons. I am wondering if this can be very efficient (timewise and costwise), or kids cannot learn really by just 12 lessons? Any thoughts? Most of the coding classes are targeting younger kids or camps, and I am not sure how the middle schoolers and up are learning programming that can be applied in AP computer science class in high school. Our high school seems taking Java, not Python, so I am not sure if DC should also learn Java at some point before high school. Any insight would be appreciated. [/quote]
