[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This area is insane. Let your little kids be kids, for God's sake. This is pathetic.[/quote]

I agree.  What has happened to simply signing your kids up for year round club swimming with club soccer, basketball and lacrosse for supplementary treats.[/quote]

This is why US children are far behind other countries in math & science. [/quote]

I don't think the vast majority of parents in the European countries that scored higher than the US send their kids to kumon.  So, how do you explain why these countries scored higher?[/quote]

This is easy. That is because they have better schools. If the schools here teach math better, there will be no need for Kumon. [/quote]

Do they have better schools?  What does it mean to be "better"?  Like rote memory learning is better?  Better like the government pays for *everything*, even college?  Then yea, European schools are better.  Better like kids are better behaved so they don't have as much disciplinary problems so the teachers can actually spend the time teaching rather than focusing on disciplining, so they are able to cover more material?  Then yea, there's is better.  So many different definitions of "better".[/quote]
