That is the dumbest comment ever. You're shaming people for getting academic help. [/quote]

It doesn't sound like OP is doing Kumon out of any real need for math remediation or to provide stimulation for a mathematically gifted child, it sounds like OP is doing it to affirm her child's Asian-ness. Which apparently is a thing in some places. But still it is odd to write a forum post complaining about the service, then being presented with better options, then doubling down on the bad service. As Ace Ventura says, well alrighty then![/quote]

This is op. You're way too involved. My son loves math. I also mentioned we don't have any other options close to us. 
The area we live in has a huge asian population so naturally, many of the kids at Kumon are asian. We are new to the area. I met a mom at the playground this evening, and she approved me, as our kids are both in Kumon. We exchanged numbers to coordinate play dates. Not only does Kumon help him with his love for math, but it has helped me feel more part of the community. We moved from out of state only 5 months, so I don't have a lot of friends. [/quote]

Kumon will hurt your kid's love for math, which will hurt your kid's achievement in math. [/quote]

What's up with all these anti kumon people? It's like they go out of the way to bash it. Probably insecure, their kids are only doing sports. [/quote]

It's the opposite. Kumon affiliated people are going out of their way to make posts about Kumon on DCUM while pretending to be Asian moms. Everyone who has actually done math enrichment with their children knows that Kumon is just drill worksheets with no substance. At this point it's practically standard for half the responses to be "AOPS" when these Kumon shills pop up. [/quote]
