One my good friends from h.s. I asked her husband how their son was doing in school and he busted out with yea their doing advanced stuff at his school he’s reading at a 6th grade level (the kid was in 1st grade at the time) they pay for some fancy/pricy private school. I told me wife this and she was like there’s no way he’s at that grade level in reading he couldn’t even read certain words in a comic book our son was showing him! She’s was irritated by it
Any kumon parents in here?
My son is about to finish 2nd grade this spring and he’s reading at a 4th grade level right now (not bragging) my former boss was a kumon kid and she told me if they start the math program by 3rd grade they’ll be ahead of their class when it comes to math.
My daughter did Kumon for about a month. To me the money was not worth for it to be almost a classroom setting. Meaning that they work in small groups. Also, they start all students with remedial math. This is helpful but this also drags the process.
Her grades did improve, I just wanted her to have more attention independently.
