[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, how much does it cost?[/quote]

I want to say $200 month. Or maybe it's $100 per subject.[/quote]

Is that once a week for 1 hour?[/quote]

It's twice per week in the Kumon Center.  It takes as long as your child takes to finish the work.  It could be 20 minutes, or an hour and a half.  The other five days, your child does daily homework (it's 10 pages and the amount of time depends on your child).  In this area, the cost ranges from about $150 to $175/month PER subject.[/quote]

Thanks, that's not bad at all. It would definitely save me some stress. [/quote]

You have to force  your kids to do the worksheets and grade them yourself.  Then you have to drive your kid to the center twice a week, not for instruction but to sit at the center and do worksheets.  It's incredibly boring for the kids.  My kids did it for a while at the Falls Church center.  They said Mrs. K. was mean and yelled at kids. One of my kids tell she now (years later) that it was helpful.  The other has ADHD and LDs (which we did not know then)  It was torture for her.  I'd say it's good for structure, but expensive for what you actually get.  Whether it's worth it depends on the kid.  I ended up 50/50.[/quote]
