[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are these elementary level test prep classes that everyone is talking about? Do you mean Kumon?[/quote]
Yes, Kumon. [/quote]

Huh? I thought Kumon was for strengthening basic math skills, not for prepping on how to take the CogAt or other standardized test.[/quote]
It’s the elementary school equivalent to a prep course. Just another way to get ahead. [/quote]

Can we stop with taking the poor kids' childhoods AWAY from them??  I get it, you are chasing the almighty dollar, but at what expense?[/quote]
I think Americans, particularly white/hispanic/black and some Asian cultures have different views and ideas of what childhood should be. Chinese/Korean/Japanese cultures don’t look at childhood the way many others do. We have completely different opinions and perspectives. Who’s to say which is correct? However, sadly if we want our kids to become successful, we will be forced to sacrifice some things we have taken for granted in the past. We are now part of a global culture. The only reason most people immigrate here is to “succeed.” [/quote]
