[quote=Anonymous]Do you think a first grader will think to ask to play a sport or take  music lessons or are those things that kids hear about from friends or because a parent suggests it? We suggested the program because he enjoys math and was bored with distance learning, he said yes and then said yes the following two years when we ask him. He also says yes when we ask about a sport. He has said no to many an activity or asked to drop one he doesn’t like. But most kids are not asking to play soccer or baseball at 4 or 5, the parents enroll the kid. Most kids don’t say they want to play the piano at 5, the parent sets up lessons. Hopefully the kid continues because they like it. Why would it be different for Math? Or Art?

That said, RSM sets up events that attracts kids. We were at the Pi day celebration at RSM and saw some friends there. Their kid goes to the music school next door and saw the signs for Pi day and wanted to try the math games. They had also gone to the Halloween party. The kid is asking to go and is interested in RSM. The adverts for the special events are not different then the lawn signs for lacrosse that the kids and parents see.
