[quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth. We resisted Kumon and any drilling/practice with our DC. We figured she's bright and she'll eventually learn everything - let them be kids and play! She'll have plenty of time to stress about Advanced Calculus or reading Derrida later in life...

This past fall, our Kindergarten teacher at a local private school indicated our DC was performing a bit "slower" than the rest of the kids. I realized that the average is skewed/changed and we needed to enrich. I enrolled DC in Kumon and DC LOVES to go and do the KUMON each night. The program is great because it builds their confidence and the work is always exactly where it needs to be.

My DC was resisting reading as DC has a math brain and my efforts in getting her to read were doing nothing but upsetting her. DC doesn't like things that are hard for her. Now,  DC is so proud  to bring me simple books to read to me after 4 months. IT WORKS!

As for math, she's making easy work of progessing through their program. It does kind of scare me in terms of getting too far ahead of her peers.

ALL children have strengths and weaknesses. KUMON is great at building up both aspects. I recommend the program wholeheartedly!

P.S. I know from experience that kids in Europe have a much harder curriculum than the USA.
