[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, I've never heard it stated this way before... but no, I'm certainly not jealous. Why would I be? I can afford to send my K to whatever tutoring if I wanted, but here's the thing... I don't think it's necessary, and I want my K to be a kid. Since my kids were babies, we would read to them every night. They loved reading, and this helped them learning letters. It was fun for them; we spent time together. Why tutor when you can spend time together at home doing these things with your PreK? I[b]f you want your PreK to be used to sitting for a few minutes doing work, why not just get them a preK workbook from any store. It has shapes, coloring, letter tracing. I also printout free coloring pages and math facts online. It's easy, cheap, and flexible. Tutoring sounds like overkill for a preK.[/b]

I didn't send my 3rd grader to a tutor, and DC did just fine..got into HGC and compacted math. So, are you now jealous? Geez. why do people always think it must be jealousy if someone disagrees. OP posted here asking for opinions. So you get various opinions, but it ain't jealousy.[/quote]

Honey, we don't want to is the simple answer for you.  We prefer Kumon.  Some prefer $4,000 3-week summer camps.  Isn't this overkill?[/quote]

Good for you for keeping kumon in business.  But maybe OP's kid will hate being forced to go to tutoring after school.  When my DC was 4 DC loved doing activity books, too.  But if I made DC go to a class to do it where it was structured, DC would've hated it.

So OP, if you think your kid will love going to after school tutoring, then go for it.[/quote]
