[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RSM, Kumon, AoPS have some differences, but are more similar than different. Also one location of brand X might vary from another location of brand X. Visit several sites nearby and pick the specific site and brand that seems best fit for your family.

Or just get appropriate math workbooks and do it at home....

AoPS (BA) is standard wherever you go.  For elementary school, I think going to a physical location is a waste of time, as the curriculum is easy for parents to implement, and there are online videos to fill in gaps.  Also, AoPS (BA) uses challenging puzzles to build in repetition, which is a lot more engaging and overall beneficial than just doing worksheets or other online rote memorization drills.  It's especially good for kids who never struggle in school, as it builds stamina and frustration tolerance in math, which they need when they get older. [/quote]

You think it is a waste, others don’t. My son liked being in a class with other kids who liked math. It made his interest in math less strange. His friends never teased him or anything but they all thought it was a bit weird. Being in class with a group of kids who were good at math and seemed to enjoy it.

Plenty of kids find the RSM curriculum challenging and it allows for growth. The math competition class is very challenging. The national math competition program accelerates the challenge. [/quote]
