[quote=Anonymous][quote]I completely agree with the home supplement, esp when parents are in math-related fields. I don't get why people are disparaging the playing of math games, talking about math concepts at the dinner table--these are probably much better than Kumon. I think it makes a lot of sense. I'm also guessing that the people who make fun of these "at home" lessons are not in professions that lend themselves to teaching. It is absolutely not surprising that a child of mathematicians would do advance in math faster than his/her peers. Studies have shown that children of professors, for example, tend to have advanced verbal skills compared to their peers.[/quote]

If one can teach the students of these parents math and science in a lecture hall, around a Harkness table or over coffee for decades how difficult must it be to talk with one's kids over dinner or weekend drives up the coast?

No rocket science here.  No need for Princeton review, Khan online academy or Kumon.  But, this is supplementation nevertheless. :D [/quote]
