[quote=Anonymous][quote]Doing kumon math exercises with parents at 4 and 5 years of age for fun and engagement has absolutely nothing to do with AP Calculus, bright kids or advanced math. The latter issues are part of your imagination. Why don't you leave other families alone who enjoy kumon math with their young children without digressing to purely irrelevant matters of AP Calculus and bright or dull kids?

I enjoy playing soccer with my 4 and 5 year-old on a team and in the backyard (as with kumon). Division 1 soccer at Harvard, the US soccer olympic team and the World Cup are purely irrelevant matters (as for kumon) conjured up in your imagination for argument. No one here is making those imagined arguments. Some posters simply enjoy kumon or soccer with their kids...and some posters don't.[/quote]

I agree.  There are so many suspicious and paranoid posters who spend their idle time conjuring up motivations for why parents play with their kids, do kumon with their kids, play soccer, lacrosse, boxing, wrestling, tennis and any sport with their young kids, read to their kids, make their kids learn an instrument or take music (even if their kids do not like to do so), go to Church with their kids, take their kids to museums, teach their kids to write, teach their kids to fish, teach their elementary school kids algebra and physics, teach their kids how to play chess, teach their elementary kids Latin, Greek, Yiddish, Yoruba, French, Swahili, geometry, statistics and the like.  It seems some posters presume to know what we should expose 4 and 5 year-olds to.  For some, it is not kumon style math (not made in America).
