[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “US is terrible at teaching math” is just an excuse, one of a few I’ve heard, to spend money and make your 6yo sit and do extra math two nights a week. I’ve lived in other countries. My kids have gone to their schools. It’s all the same. FWIW people in those other countries send their kids to kumon too. [/quote] I don't think the US is terrible. I think FCPS is terrible, largely because they don't have a curriculum or textbook. The classes look to me like the teacher is downloading worksheets from the internet, cobbling together a curriculum the best she can, and using time fillers as stations otherwise. I also don't think the centers model is beneficial to anyone after maybe 2nd grade. The classes I had back in the 1980s in flyover country were much more rigorous and demanding than what I'm seeing in FCPS AAP. [/quote]
