[quote=Anonymous]But what about the intended consequences in a music classroom or on the swim team. There are many kids bored by school. I doubt KUMON is the culprit here. I listen to kids that are avid readers since the age of 4. Most find school unchallenging but many don't whine about boredom ... or at least have learned to challenge this boredom constructively. Retarding the progress of children is not the solution. The solution is teaching those kids, who are always one or two steps ahead of others (including the teacher atimes), how to channel boredom while waiting for the teacher and her pupils to catch up. The answer is plainly not taking away swimming, running, math, computer science or avid reading habits because of the fear for future boredom. [/quote]
