[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I am not looking to convince anyone of the merits of either program and my kids have had exposure to both programs.  The program only works because of the type of kid/parent that the program attracts so the last thing I want is for these programs to be seen as the "in" thing to do.

The program has a ~95% Asian population.  Our kids are part of the "minority" group and are readily accepted because our values are similar to those who attend in the sense that my kids do the homework required and take it seriously.  If your child is a special snowflake/ needs special accommodations/ can't pay attend, you aren't wanted in the program.

Also, there are many ways of raising responsible kids without participating in these types of programs.  Some parents are able to supplement at home and are successful with $10 Amazon books. Some people are able to build learning into their everyday structure without the kids even realizing it.

For us, we find these programs useful.  [/quote]
