[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]yes, it is my opinion that the Kumon tutoring track stifles intellectual curiosity and promotes rote learning.[/quote] I completely agree with this. Sometimes parents get caught up with wanting their kids to have the highest possible grades and to be "advanced" in the present, but they lose track of the long term goals of education. If a kid always has to have the right answer to the point where he becomes afraid of trying something new because it might be the wrong answer, then something is truly wrong and that kid's education has veered off track. [/quote] This. This. This.[/quote]
