[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Thanks. I'm not trying to be contrarian, just curious and trying to understand. Why do Kumon or other worksheets "kill interest"? Isn't it important to consolidate knowledge and practice for fluency? They can use them as needed. Of course you wouldn't sit there and give your kid worksheets all day, but practice is critical. I'm guessing BA makes it more fun but there has to be practice there too? [/quote] DP. To me it's just a matter of using the right tool for the right kid. If a kid needs a lot of repetition to build fluency, Kumon is the right answer. If a kid catches on quickly and doesn't need much rote repetition, Kumon would be torture. BA is the right tool if the kid is very strong in math and requires very little repetition or practice. It is insufficient for kids who need more repetition to build fluency. [/quote]
