Danish Azzahra lmaoooo we would lie to our parents that it was a holiday for Kumon and on some days they would believe us, but after those few times they started calling the place to make sure.
The kumon I went to made u sign a contract that made u stay there for 10 months and like 3 or 4 months after I started I stopped doing the homework and they got mad and then I said it is useless then they kicked me out then my mom enrolled me to another 1 in July sadly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Malaika Cakpo ! Even if kumon gives you so many worksheets it actually helped me like I’m grade 5 but I’m answering for grade 9 and I’m advanced I’m now in level I and I didn’t regret it because in my math class I don’t study anymore and it’s so easy and I started when I was 2 years old and I had medals 🥇!
I am in Level L and I'm 13! This is messing up my life in school it's not helping me. I'm not even learning this in school yet! And my maths grades got lower ever since I started struggling in Kumon and paying more attention to Kumon than my school work!
Danng I'm 13 on math level J. Honestly I don't think I can make it any further than this so today i'm gathering up the courage to talk to my mum. Wish me luck ya'll lol i'm screwed XD
I hate kumon, I've been doing it since I was like 4, and it's terrible. It does help a lot, but you do not know how many times I have cried because of it. It's like drugs except you don't enjoy it. So, because of kumon I've skipped a math level, and I think I'm a different person because of it. However because I know that I am not smart and I'm only advanced because of kumon, I feel pressured to keep on going, because I think "What if I fail school because I quit?" I don't think I've actually met anyone who enjoyed kumon. But by all go ahead, your kid will be smart, so that's okay even though they'll probably be miserable.
I'm on J btw and 7th grade, but in school I'm doing Algebra 1 Honors which is 9th grade honors in our school district. I'm not bragging if that's what you thought, I mean if I wanted to brag, I'd do it with a real name (because my username isn't my real name)
Kumon is hell like you have so much homework and when you have a school holiday, you dont have a holiday you have kumon which youu have to do it everysingle day. Its also wasting paper. HELP SAVE THE TREES BY NOT DOING KUMON!!!!!!!! ======()
@@kittycatgirl1139wow, this really sucks. Hey, but listen: You're NOT spoiled. I know how that feels, because my parents also did that to me. I really wish the best for you, alright? Stay strong!
i got as far as J135 in one year (yes i know that sounds unrealistic but its true) and damn was i lucky to leave. i would never have survived 6 more years
Kumon is teaching me: The answers to question s cuz of a book I feel about kumon: A waste of a weekend when im supposed to be resting So what i do is i throw my kumon in the trash
Kumon is a living hell I have SO much school work and on top of that I have to do that crap? Who the hell thought this was a good idea. It got so stressful to do. Besides, math school homework is a thing and I usually learn nothing I do in school in kumon so what is the point. Complete waste of money
Dankmemer 289 When I was 5 My mom asked me if I wanted to go, And Obviously I Would Mess Up And Say Yes. So Now Until 8th Grade I Have To Stay No Matter What.
My dad yelled at me and yelled at me saying that I’m stupid for not learning the math that my school didn’t teach so yah I do not see the point in going there it doesn’t help me plus my parents always put the blame on me for not knowing how to do the math so Paddington argue with that
I'm a survivor learning N and every day when I do the works, I just think "When should I end this?" It's horrible. I suffer a lot because of it, and my parents won't stop because they'll be telling me that "You're already at N, why don't just continue it?" For me, I don't really care about my money on how I spent it. I personally care about my school life the most, and this is suffering me. Thank you to Kumon, you are one of the reasons I have problems with my parents, the downhill of my family, and my depression. :)
Hi. Congrats on reaching such a high level! I know that things can get pretty difficult in those levels (I've gone through it).

i feel you.. my parents forced me to go take private piano lessons and i've never liked it ever... not one bit and everytime i express to them that i want to quit, its always the same, "but you've already been playing for 5 years! it'd be such a waste." and it's quite stressful
@@jkrr9134 You ask your parents to go to therapy. If they ask why, you say that it's for no reason, and that you just want to make sure that you have a good mental health, and stuff like that. Remember: Self-diagnose isn't always the best choice, the best choice would be PROFESIONALLY diagnosed by a therapist. Well, after a while doing therapy, they'll diagnose you, and it'd tell you if you have any psychological disorders. Remember, you're amazing, i'm proud of you, stay strong! I wish the best to you
My parent enrolled my to Kumon this summer again (I used to go there when I was only around 1st grade) and now they made me go again sadly. The memories I had there SUCKED, I remembered stressing out and crying about how much they make me do which made me feel a bit nervous going back there. I remembered taking the test which tested me on my addition (no issue) but the thing is I showed my work on a problem and because of that they degraded me. They made me take level B to which was like simple addition. I simply don’t understand how showing your work is bad, My old math tutor always told me to show my work because an answer doesn’t always solve the problem. And although the work is easy for me, they give me about 10 pages a day (20 sheets) and it’s stressful. I dislike the system Kumon has and although it’s geared towards independence, I’ve learned literally nothing but panic and stress

Kumon I did before starting 5th grade. It taught me how to be thorough in all aspects of anything you do. It taught me to always pay attention and to always go above and beyond. Easier said than done. However, I was a 3.9 college student. Did I remember these tips from 2006? No. However, they were partially still engrained in me in my work ethic.
When I first started Kumon I liked it (When it was easy), Till I went up the levels, the math got harder, and harder, when it got harder I cried more and more until, BOOM my life became to fall apart, I thought I was the only one my school doing this dumb course. I would like it if they did not have homework! I like interviews not pages for example, "Do you know what blah blah blah is?" Plus! There are some disrespectful people there! I have no idea how people finish Kumon! My parents won't let me out of this prison! It takes up 1hour of my day just to do one(For me), If I kept on explaining why kumon is bad for you this would be infinity pages long! Let me just give you a note for the cherry on top, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! IT COULD CAUSE HARM TO THEM!
To be honest I LOVE Kumon, it has helped me in so many different ways and I really appreciate my parents for their time and money to take me to kumon and help me become successful. I was so behind in class and now I'm like in the top 3 of my class.
During my first 2 years in Kumon I was pretty fine with it. My progression was fast and smooth and I noticed a lot of help from it. But when I entered my freshman year, the stress suddenly hit me and came out of nowhere. I begged my mom to let me stop but she only insisted to give me a 6 months break and after that I will still continue. I'm upset about that I idea however beggars can't be choosers :,)
Kwabena lol most of the comments on this are actually from people who attended kumon, so I think their trying to show how little kumon has taught them lol😂😂😂
A rap for kumon: Kumon is stupid and takes up my time, It would take me longer than thinking of a rhyme, My parents think that they can help, Welll that can't so I say welp, KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE (x4) I rebelled against my mum, my dad Then things started to turn very bad, The challenge got higher, I wanted to die in a fire, Kumon states that it'll be fun it's a lier. My and my little sister rebelled, We fed it to our dog hoping to get expelled, We both served a sentence three weeks grounded, My and her life had just demounted, And to this it states we are still conjuring a plan! One that will be wicked and give us a ban, All you have to do is wait, Whilst we make a box fort sit in it and contemplate- KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSLEF IN A FIRE KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE. KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE YOU MAKIN ME SAD U CREATED A BROKEN WIRE!!!!!!!!! *faints from too much KUMON rage XD*
My parents never sent me to kumon because when they sent me there, they realized that there were no teachers trying to help you, you do your own work, so when I got out of the assessment, they didn't enrolled me there because they knew that students will still stick to parents helping you, plus you can cheat homeworks lmao
Nadine, I'm a Kumon instructor, and I think your critique was very fair and very perceptive. What you said is true: Kumon is not for everyone; Kumon does not cover everything in math (or reading); the curriculum has holes (very little geometry, for example); and it is extra work for students. As you also pointed out, the benefits occur after a long period of practice. I would just add that the practice you get at Kumon is not the practice you will get in school. The curriculum is designed to help students think independently of a teacher at a very high level (such as your Level J). In other words, one of the benefits of Kumon is that students become better students--just as you are! Stephen
Thanks for your honest contribution. My 6th grader just joined kumon math few month ago. Would u advise her to continue or not, since the program doesn't cover some topics indepth or do I leave her to continue till 8th grade so she could have a strong math foundation that she needs?
I actually like Kumon, it taught me soo much, and even though the work SUCKED, I think it was worth it. My instructor was really nice, and did it all throughout high school. The units are super hard, but helped me learn concepts that weren’t clear to me in school. But nonetheless, that was my experience
I am on J. I am in grade 8 and so I found out that the concepts are much better taught at school. As soon as I learn anything it goes to shit. It is causing so much fucking stress so I don't even do it 15% of the time. Also my instructor was shit. SHE YELLED AT US BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET THE WORK.
From my experiences, Kumon focuses on speed. For some people it shouldn't be viewed as a mechanism for learning new material. In fact it may start you several grade levels lower than your understanding and grind the hell out of you refusing to advance you even if you are years ahead in mastery in school. To give you an example, my son attended a school for the gifted. He transitioned from 5th through 7th grade level math in a single school year from his age 8 through 9 (age of a 3rd grader), and he was about to enter math class with 8th graders. He had also demonstrated mastery in Khan Academy up through algebra. Unfortunately we then moved. We started him in Kumon in order to allow him to continue advancing at his own pace. Kumon knocked him back to multiple digit addition and subtraction. He left crying after the placement math test because he said it was too easy and the teacher wouldn't give him a harder one. One would think that after such a disaster that we would never have enrolled our son in Kumon, but both my wife and I were present when he was taking the test and we saw what we expected to see. My son is not fast. I hypothesize that because he advanced rapidly based on demonstrating mastery rather than speed that he never needed to develop speed. I hope that speed comes with practice. I am not sure what to do for my son. So far we are trying a two pronged attack: we hired a tutor that comes twice a week to work with him on topics well beyond what he gets in school, and he attends Kumon two days a week to try to develop his speed. The disparity between what is covered in Kumon vs. with his tutor is profound. I am still on the fence as to whether to keep my son in Kumon. Speed is important when trying to negotiate face-to-face. Speed is also important when taking standardized tests. But depth is of greater importance in any endeavor in science and engineering. Is it worth the mind-numbing repetition to get him up to speed so he can get an 800 on the math portion of the SAT?
im a rebel in kumon I don't usually finish all of the worksheets and I just copy the stuff from old worksheets I hate the person she not the teacher but god do I hate her this one time she scolded for not finishing and she compared me to her nephew saying that hes more responsible and she also compared me to the kid next to me that he's younger but his level is higher than me GOD I HATE HER! and the teachers are so obnoxious like they never shut up GOD! I don't even need that much math in the future I'm planning to be an artist >>>:(
I have had so many issues with Kumon that pissed me off. 1. Shitty grades 2. Annoying children who cant stop staring at each other. 3. Those helpers who don't even help.
I'm in 7th grade, studying algebra, and then my parents start making me do kumon, and they give me packets of 200+ problems like 56 - 34, or 45 + 78, and my parents don't understand how utterly useless and idiotic it is for me to be doing it. Honestly, it's like they take me for a pre-schooler with Down syndrome.
It’s kinda weird but whenever I learn something in school I gets very confused but in Kumon even a simple instruction on a page could get the things clearly in my head. Edit: I feel ashamed cuz every comments I see is C+ level but am F+.
@@dionevasconcelossilva9551 sometimes because some methods aren’t taught in kumon, and other times you have to do certain methods at school so the kumon methods wouldn’t be allowed, also this is from my experience it could be different of course
i keep on asking my mom to quit kumon but she says that my 5th grade teacher is good at math so i have to keep on doing kumon and i already am in LEVEL EEEEEEEEEEEE AND THAT MANS FRACTIONS
I am going to a Kumon in a city in China. Since I was 3 years old. And I'm now 13 years old. To be honest Kumon did make my maths better but I just stressed a lot when my mum figured out I haven't do my Kumon.
My mum won’t let me stop😤😭😢😭😭😭😭😭 I have cried , SO MUCH STRESS thrn my mum yells at me when i don’t do it and I have to do like a week worth of work in one day
Hi there, This video is 10 years old. I am very curious about what your opinion is now as an adult. During your college life and your career, did you feel the same way?
Ugh I’m turning 12 and I’m on level J. Kumon is so stressful and so I find no time to do it because I have a million other classes along with my school work. Help!
Sylvan was so much better, Kumon overwhelms you with homework until it no longer becomes learning. It just becomes regurgitated information which is pointless.
kumon dosnt really help i think in level E to about G its only fractions which isnt really that good because i was struggling with graphs which finally came in level H about 141H so it took me like 2 yrs to get me where i need to be and now im in yr 7 well going to be yr8 idk how much longer i can cope the graphs r so time wasting and long and boring and if u get one coordinate wrong the whole answer is wrong i still havent finnished levle H and its been a whole yr. i mean cos of kumon im like boss at fractions and algebra but thats it it doesnt cover the harder stuffin the lower levels i personally only did maths, thank god, i hate kumon but im scared if i quit then i might get really bad at maths especially graphs and triangles
so basically, in conclusion, it is NOT worth the money, blood, sweat or tears. it honestly stresses me and surely pretty much everyone. my teacher wont let me quit. it has given me anxiety and depression and a stress disorder. it barely covers the school curriculum. yes, at first, the basic levels, it DID cover the basics. i agree, its suitable for younger children, when you get to 7th grade/year 8, you should quit. you need to focus on your more important studies. i currently do 2 subjects (maths and english). both of them are extremely stressful but english, i definitely prefer english over maths. please, if you're above 7th grade/year 8 and above, please ask to leave. it is not worth the money or time or anything. thank you :)
I keep telling my mom I hate it and it's not helping me and she just ignores me and doesn't listen. My dad knows I hate it and hates it too but doesn't stand up to my mom.
Kumon is the form of the devil but in paper. RIP TREES. I've been doing Kumon for 6 years, I am on level H and I think it is an absolute waste of the free time you have as a child. And because of it I can't focus on my school work, and my free time is consumed. I am currently spending my summer holidays just doing books. I don't even think that ive understood my levels. I think the examples are atrocious and all my instructor says is go get the solution book. Obviously this isn't the same for everyone but Kumon does more damage than it does good. If you join Kumon today for £65 pm or $80 pm I think you are contradicting the WWF 's work and anyone who has donated to it would have just thrown their money down the drain
I think that it really depends on the Kumon Center. The one that I go to is great and I get the help that I need. I’ve been going to this center for 3 years now. I’m way ahead in my class and even the basics helped a lot. I’m currently on Level L in reading and K in math and I’m 14.
@@alphagamma6709 noo my mom complains when i don't do my work even tho i don't want to do it in the first place i don't need any more teachers when i have after school coach class
This is the one thing that broke me you are fine, ok happy when for a unknown reason or answer this hits your plate. You think it’s boring, not helping you or just something you thought you had to do. You gradually start to believe it’s helping you however you can’t find a simple reason for it. Nothing seems to match up and you know that you would be better off learning the school’s material rather than having such a dread like this pulling you down. There are many words to describe it foul, lethal, frightening and the list continues. your grades begin to descend ultimately leading to you begging your parents or practically writing a essay on why it’s too much for you and that you have to leave/quit. But as you most likely will expect they brush it off excuse after excuse ranging from “what have your friends been telling you?” Or “stop having a negative attitude towards it!” It seems to be like a punishment now, every inch of my brain cracking as it bleeds slowly while my skull breaks rubbing and cutting on every inch of my flesh. Your grades are at its worst while your parents yell and blame, you try to tell them but it’s no use, the constant thought that you won’t be able to amount to anything in life because of it mocks you like shock. Your left as this shell angry, sad, depressed, the inability to feel happiness again... All because of this...
To the people that hate kumon. I joined kumon when I was 16 because I like it and helps me a lot, now I'm 18 and I want to finish the whole math program to get into university and have very good grades. I have friends of my same age and everyone loves kumon because they learn and They progress. yes, it is homework, but God, if you want to be good at math, you need to practice! I also have school and I do not leave early, apart from the trimester workday that is twice as heavy as the semester but I do it, When I realize that I do not have time or energy for Kumon, I do not do it because my priority is school. since I'm not the only one in my country who does some subject workshops to enter university. All we do" preuniversitarios" all the days of the week and the school so if you dont like homework the university it will be the hell because you will need to study every single day to get that degree. Have a nice day. Grettings for Chile
Why school is better than kumon: 1:they give u 1 homework 2:they do feild trips 3:they do recces 4:they do special days like Christmas parties thanksgiving lunch and more
kumon really helped me with my grades, i went from getting 87 to 96 on math. though i sometimes end up doing my worksheets at school during lunch because im a lazy ass
I'm on J and I'm 13. I've been going to Kumon for almost about 3-4 years and it's barely helping me AT ALL. It will only help your kid by ingraining the multiplication and division tables and fractions. THAT'S IT!! It starts off easy but when you go more up in the levels, they skip over the stuff that you're supposed to learn and expect to somehow magically do it all on your own.

Things that Kumon teached me:
1) How to Cheat
2) How to lie
3) and the multipication table engrained in my head.
I agree on the how to lie one

I wouldn't be so harsh. Kumon has its pros and cons, but do not say you HATE it. I am sure you still learned.
My dad yelled at me and yelled at me saying that I’m stupid for not learning the math that my school didn’t teach so yah I do not see the point in going there it doesn’t help me plus my parents always put the blame on me for not knowing how to do the math so Paddington argue with that
I'm a survivor learning N and every day when I do the works, I just think "When should I end this?" It's horrible. I suffer a lot because of it, and my parents won't stop because they'll be telling me that "You're already at N, why don't just continue it?" For me, I don't really care about my money on how I spent it. I personally care about my school life the most, and this is suffering me. Thank you to Kumon, you are one of the reasons I have problems with my parents, the downhill of my family, and my depression. :)
Hi. Congrats on reaching such a high level! I know that things can get pretty difficult in those levels (I've gone through it). If you ever need help with understanding, feel free to look at some animations I created for Kumon concepts/topics.

Have a nice day! 😂
i feel you.. my parents forced me to go take private piano lessons and i've never liked it ever... not one bit and everytime i express to them that i want to quit, its always the same, "but you've already been playing for 5 years! it'd be such a waste." and it's quite stressful
sorry to hear
I have to ditch school work just for Kumon work
And sports
i have to ditch schoolwork and singing practice for darn kumon worksheets
You forgot to mention how it's a living hell
I'm on level H at 5th grade!
OMG IM 5TH GRADE IM STILL D LOLOL
You forgot to mention that education comes first in life before anything else.
i know right
Ya it,s he'll and please sucirbre to me😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😕
I made it to level i I went from grades 5-7 it was hell later I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression thanks Kumon.
I made to k when year 7 that’s how sweaty it was ,-, AND I GOT WETTT😂🤣😂
How do u tell your parents you have depression pls tell me i think im diagnosed with it
Fluffy Mellow jus staye it
Girl- I’ve been going to kumon for 7 years and counting 🥲
@@jkrr9134 You ask your parents to go to therapy. If they ask why, you say that it's for no reason, and that you just want to make sure that you have a good mental health, and stuff like that. Remember: Self-diagnose isn't always the best choice, the best choice would be PROFESIONALLY diagnosed by a therapist. Well, after a while doing therapy, they'll diagnose you, and it'd tell you if you have any psychological disorders. Remember, you're amazing, i'm proud of you, stay strong! I wish the best to you
My parent enrolled my to Kumon this summer again (I used to go there when I was only around 1st grade) and now they made me go again sadly. The memories I had there SUCKED, I remembered stressing out and crying about how much they make me do which made me feel a bit nervous going back there. I remembered taking the test which tested me on my addition (no issue) but the thing is I showed my work on a problem and because of that they degraded me. They made me take level B to which was like simple addition. I simply don’t understand how showing your work is bad, My old math tutor always told me to show my work because an answer doesn’t always solve the problem. And although the work is easy for me, they give me about 10 pages a day (20 sheets) and it’s stressful.
I dislike the system Kumon has and although it’s geared towards independence, I’ve learned literally nothing but panic and stress
True that
fr
I used to do 10 pages a day but I could not finish them usually so now I take 5 pages per packet
I do reading and math at Kumon and I always spend over 2 hours at kumon. I could be using that time to do school homework
i started when i was 3. i am now 12 and i am going into seventh grade, yet my parents show no sign of me stopping🙄 9 years and counting
same, it fucking sucks
danggggg
I do level N math and there is literally hella tears in my sheets

Have a nice day! 😄
Kumon I did before starting 5th grade. It taught me how to be thorough in all aspects of anything you do. It taught me to always pay attention and to always go above and beyond. Easier said than done. However, I was a 3.9 college student. Did I remember these tips from 2006? No. However, they were partially still engrained in me in my work ethic.
DAMN this girl is a living legend 5 years
There's no way in hell I would do that
Lol try 12 years then :)
i’ve had it for almost 10 years help mee
I'm still a student at Kumon and it's been about 9 years since I've started ;-;'
I just in kumon for 3 years and I in level K
dude its been 7 years and still going
Kumon sucks
When I first started Kumon I liked it (When it was easy), Till I went up the levels, the math got harder, and harder, when it got harder I cried more and more until, BOOM my life became to fall apart, I thought I was the only one my school doing this dumb course. I would like it if they did not have homework! I like interviews not pages for example, "Do you know what blah blah blah is?" Plus! There are some disrespectful people there! I have no idea how people finish Kumon! My parents won't let me out of this prison! It takes up 1hour of my day just to do one(For me), If I kept on explaining why kumon is bad for you this would be infinity pages long! Let me just give you a note for the cherry on top, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! IT COULD CAUSE HARM TO THEM!

To be honest I LOVE Kumon, it has helped me in so many different ways and I really appreciate my parents for their time and money to take me to kumon and help me become successful. I was so behind in class and now I'm like in the top 3 of my class.
Good for you.
I hate it
During my first 2 years in Kumon I was pretty fine with it. My progression was fast and smooth and I noticed a lot of help from it. But when I entered my freshman year, the stress suddenly hit me and came out of nowhere. I begged my mom to let me stop but she only insisted to give me a 6 months break and after that I will still continue. I'm upset about that I idea however beggars can't be choosers :,)
I mean, as much as I hate Kumon, I've noticed a lot of these hate comments are incorrectly written... maybe they need it lol
Kwabena Osei it's how we do
Kwabena Osei GIRL! Lol
Kwabena lol most of the comments on this are actually from people who attended kumon, so I think their trying to show how little kumon has taught them lol😂😂😂

A rap for kumon:
Kumon is stupid and takes up my time,
It would take me longer than thinking of a rhyme,
My parents think that they can help,
Welll that can't so I say welp,
KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE (x4)
I rebelled against my mum, my dad
Then things started to turn very bad,
The challenge got higher,
I wanted to die in a fire,
Kumon states that it'll be fun it's a lier.
My and my little sister rebelled,
We fed it to our dog hoping to get expelled,
We both served a sentence three weeks grounded,
My and her life had just demounted,
And to this it states we are still conjuring a plan!
One that will be wicked and give us a ban,
All you have to do is wait,
Whilst we make a box fort sit in it and contemplate-
KUMON DIE BOI CHUCK URSELF IN A FIRE

Nice
Ain’t to bad
It's pretty decent
My parents never sent me to kumon because when they sent me there, they realized that there were no teachers trying to help you, you do your own work, so when I got out of the assessment, they didn't enrolled me there because they knew that students will still stick to parents helping you, plus you can cheat homeworks lmao
Nadine, I'm a Kumon instructor, and I think your critique was very fair and very perceptive. What you said is true: Kumon is not for everyone; Kumon does not cover everything in math (or reading); the curriculum has holes (very little geometry, for example); and it is extra work for students. As you also pointed out, the benefits occur after a long period of practice.
I would just add that the practice you get at Kumon is not the practice you will get in school. The curriculum is designed to help students think independently of a teacher at a very high level (such as your Level J). In other words, one of the benefits of Kumon is that students become better students--just as you are!
Stephen
Thanks for your honest contribution. My 6th grader just joined kumon math few month ago. Would u advise her to continue or not, since the program doesn't cover some topics indepth or do I leave her to continue till 8th grade so she could have a strong math foundation that she needs?
Stephen Armstrong if you are involved with kumon, then I hate you aswell.
Tope Ijadunola depends whether or not you want your child to love or hate you.
stubbles jr And the comment awards of 2018 go to you. Kumon is terrible except for kumon plus.

I have been going since 4 yearsold and im 11 HELP MEEEE
same i’ve been there since i was 3, i’m almost 13 :(
SAME ;-;
holy damn you guys are veterans fighting a long and hard battle with kumon
@@PotatoBoiOfficial lol kumon is a war against the instructor
@Richard Xie how was it. i hated it
I’m forced to do Kumon, my Mom is an instructor, pray for me
I actually like Kumon, it taught me soo much, and even though the work SUCKED, I think it was worth it. My instructor was really nice, and did it all throughout high school. The units are super hard, but helped me learn concepts that weren’t clear to me in school. But nonetheless, that was my experience
I am on J. I am in grade 8 and so I found out that the concepts are much better taught at school. As soon as I learn anything it goes to shit. It is causing so much fucking stress so I don't even do it 15% of the time. Also my instructor was shit. SHE YELLED AT US BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET THE WORK.
i kinda agree with u tbh
From my experiences, Kumon focuses on speed. For some people it shouldn't be viewed as a mechanism for learning new material. In fact it may start you several grade levels lower than your understanding and grind the hell out of you refusing to advance you even if you are years ahead in mastery in school. To give you an example, my son attended a school for the gifted. He transitioned from 5th through 7th grade level math in a single school year from his age 8 through 9 (age of a 3rd grader), and he was about to enter math class with 8th graders. He had also demonstrated mastery in Khan Academy up through algebra. Unfortunately we then moved. We started him in Kumon in order to allow him to continue advancing at his own pace. Kumon knocked him back to multiple digit addition and subtraction. He left crying after the placement math test because he said it was too easy and the teacher wouldn't give him a harder one.
One would think that after such a disaster that we would never have enrolled our son in Kumon, but both my wife and I were present when he was taking the test and we saw what we expected to see. My son is not fast. I hypothesize that because he advanced rapidly based on demonstrating mastery rather than speed that he never needed to develop speed. I hope that speed comes with practice.
I am not sure what to do for my son. So far we are trying a two pronged attack: we hired a tutor that comes twice a week to work with him on topics well beyond what he gets in school, and he attends Kumon two days a week to try to develop his speed. The disparity between what is covered in Kumon vs. with his tutor is profound.
I am still on the fence as to whether to keep my son in Kumon. Speed is important when trying to negotiate face-to-face. Speed is also important when taking standardized tests. But depth is of greater importance in any endeavor in science and engineering. Is it worth the mind-numbing repetition to get him up to speed so he can get an 800 on the math portion of the SAT?
no its not worth it.
Hello David I'm a mother of a young child and would love to hear your conclusion on the matter now.
I hated taking Kumon back in grade 2-4. It was so stressful for a kid. But it helped me a lot throughout the years
Kumon Teacher: Kumon is the best place ever
Student: Bich were you paid to say that
Kumon Teacher: Uhhhh
mamadu bah XD that is funny
im a rebel in kumon I don't usually finish all of the worksheets and I just copy the stuff from old worksheets
I hate the person she not the teacher but god do I hate her this one time she scolded for not finishing and she compared me to her nephew saying that hes more responsible and she also compared me to the kid next to me that he's younger but his level is higher than me GOD I HATE HER! and the teachers are so obnoxious like they never shut up GOD!
I don't even need that much math in the future I'm planning to be an artist >>>:(
I went to kumon bc I got one question wrong from math in school. Plus my parent told me that my uncle went to kumon before.
(my parent is Asian btw)
I have had so many issues with Kumon that pissed me off. 1. Shitty grades 2. Annoying children who cant stop staring at each other. 3. Those helpers who don't even help.
I'm in 7th grade, studying algebra, and then my parents start making me do kumon, and they give me packets of 200+ problems like 56 - 34, or 45 + 78, and my parents don't understand how utterly useless and idiotic it is for me to be doing it. Honestly, it's like they take me for a pre-schooler with Down syndrome.
Dan the biscuit XD
Didn't see where that was leading lol
It’s kinda weird but whenever I learn something in school I gets very confused but in Kumon even a simple instruction on a page could get the things clearly in my head.
Edit: I feel ashamed cuz every comments I see is C+ level but am F+.
Opposite for me
0 same
Kumon is a living hell for those who don’t know.
Kumon is worse than cancer
my parents force me to join kumon since i was in 1st grade. and i will done doing kumon when i was in highschool. im suffering. help.
i joined when i was 3 😭
Rip my dude
OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ME
Here is how I describe kumon😭😈
Kumon is worse than school.
1.Homework Every day
2.Fix your corrections
3.Annoying teachers
KUMON IS BASICALLY THE EQUIVALENT TO PAIN
Does the method work at least?
@@dionevasconcelossilva9551 sometimes because some methods aren’t taught in kumon, and other times you have to do certain methods at school so the kumon methods wouldn’t be allowed, also this is from my experience it could be different of course
i keep on asking my mom to quit kumon but she says that my 5th grade teacher is good at math so i have to keep on doing kumon and i already am in LEVEL EEEEEEEEEEEE AND THAT MANS FRACTIONS
Shiloh rlly I'm in 4th grade and am on g
Shiloh E is easier than a, b, c and D
Shiloh no
Better
Bruh e ain't hard, e, f, g are littearly fractions, e test is fraction, f test is mainly fractions, so is g. Wait til u get to Lvl h, real stuff there
Boi I am in h and it is hard wait till u are in g and h
Kumon caused my depression and is the reason I cry myself to sleep
I am going to a Kumon in a city in China. Since I was 3 years old. And I'm now 13 years old. To be honest Kumon did make my maths better but I just stressed a lot when my mum figured out I haven't do my Kumon.
Things that kumon gave me:
1.How to lie
2. How to cheat
3. Parents always yelling
I CRIED COZ OF KUMON LIKE TF THEY DONT EVEN HELP U
when i go to the instructor for help they just say "study the example" like bruh i dont understand the example thats why im asking you
My mum won’t let me stop😤😭😢😭😭😭😭😭 I have cried , SO MUCH STRESS thrn my mum yells at me when i don’t do it and I have to do like a week worth of work in one day
I swear like half of my depression is from Kumon.
Hi there, This video is 10 years old. I am very curious about what your opinion is now as an adult. During your college life and your career, did you feel the same way?
Ugh I’m turning 12 and I’m on level J. Kumon is so stressful and so I find no time to do it because I have a million other classes along with my school work. Help!
same :(
Double same😞
Sylvan was so much better, Kumon overwhelms you with homework until it no longer becomes learning. It just becomes regurgitated information which is pointless.
Kumon helped me to be Math Major graduate and best in math at my elementary and highschool days
I hate Kumon every time I walk through their doors it’s like walking through the gates of hell.
I go to Kumon and it’s stressful especially in exam season when it’s hard to complete the homework also it sucks in the holidays
kumon dosnt really help i think in level E to about G its only fractions which isnt really that good because i was struggling with graphs which finally came in level H about 141H so it took me like 2 yrs to get me where i need to be and now im in yr 7 well going to be yr8 idk how much longer i can cope the graphs r so time wasting and long and boring and if u get one coordinate wrong the whole answer is wrong i still havent finnished levle H and its been a whole yr. i mean cos of kumon im like boss at fractions and algebra but thats it it doesnt cover the harder stuffin the lower levels i personally only did maths, thank god, i hate kumon but im scared if i quit then i might get really bad at maths especially graphs and triangles
so basically, in conclusion, it is NOT worth the money, blood, sweat or tears. it honestly stresses me and surely pretty much everyone. my teacher wont let me quit. it has given me anxiety and depression and a stress disorder. it barely covers the school curriculum. yes, at first, the basic levels, it DID cover the basics. i agree, its suitable for younger children, when you get to 7th grade/year 8, you should quit. you need to focus on your more important studies. i currently do 2 subjects (maths and english). both of them are extremely stressful but english, i definitely prefer english over maths. please, if you're above 7th grade/year 8 and above, please ask to leave. it is not worth the money or time or anything.
thank you :)
I keep telling my mom I hate it and it's not helping me and she just ignores me and doesn't listen.
My dad knows I hate it and hates it too but doesn't stand up to my mom.
Kumon is the form of the devil but in paper. RIP TREES.
I've been doing Kumon for 6 years, I am on level H and I think it is an absolute waste of the free time you have as a child. And because of it I can't focus on my school work, and my free time is consumed. I am currently spending my summer holidays just doing books. I don't even think that ive understood my levels. I think the examples are atrocious and all my instructor says is go get the solution book. Obviously this isn't the same for everyone but Kumon does more damage than it does good.
If you join Kumon today for £65 pm or $80 pm I think you are contradicting the WWF 's work and anyone who has donated to it would have just thrown their money down the drain
okay so probably helpful, but we dont actually do these at school ://
Right as I saw this, she legit said that OMG
I swear I am on level J and I can't understand anything
Evidence House i’m at level K and same
RIGHT MY MOMS LIKE IS KUMON HELPING YOU AND IM LIKE😖😭
Ad: Head over to our centre for a free trial!
Me outside the building: Dont go in kids its a fuckn trap!!
I think that it really depends on the Kumon Center. The one that I go to is great and I get the help that I need. I’ve been going to this center for 3 years now. I’m way ahead in my class and even the basics helped a lot. I’m currently on Level L in reading and K in math and I’m 14.
It taught me how to use Photomath

This is the one thing that broke me you are fine, ok happy when for a unknown reason or answer this hits your plate. You think it’s boring, not helping you or just something you thought you had to do. You gradually start to believe it’s helping you however you can’t find a simple reason for it. Nothing seems to match up and you know that you would be better off learning the school’s material rather than having such a dread like this pulling you down. There are many words to describe it foul, lethal, frightening and the list continues. your grades begin to descend ultimately leading to you begging your parents or practically writing a essay on why it’s too much for you and that you have to leave/quit. But as you most likely will expect they brush it off excuse after excuse ranging from “what have your friends been telling you?” Or “stop having a negative attitude towards it!” It seems to be like a punishment now, every inch of my brain cracking as it bleeds slowly while my skull breaks rubbing and cutting on every inch of my flesh. Your grades are at its worst while your parents yell and blame, you try to tell them but it’s no use, the constant thought that you won’t be able to amount to anything in life because of it mocks you like shock. Your left as this shell angry, sad, depressed, the inability to feel happiness again...
All because of this...
I guess severe brain damage hit me because of kumon.
When I go there I am not happy
the 8 words of my life
Yep,
my birthday is like in 1 week and for my birthday gift im asking for not having to do kumon and i am someone that really thinks about my gift
hopefully your parents let you, so did you quit?
To the people that hate kumon.
I joined kumon when I was 16 because I like it and helps me a lot, now I'm 18 and I want to finish the whole math program to get into university and have very good grades. I have friends of my same age and everyone loves kumon because they learn and They progress. yes, it is homework, but God, if you want to be good at math, you need to practice! I also have school and I do not leave early, apart from the trimester workday that is twice as heavy as the semester but I do it, When I realize that I do not have time or energy for Kumon, I do not do it because my priority is school. since I'm not the only one in my country who does some subject workshops to enter university. All we do" preuniversitarios" all the days of the week and the school so if you dont like homework the university it will be the hell because you will need to study every single day to get that degree.
Have a nice day.

Why school is better than kumon:
1:they give u 1 homework
2:they do feild trips
3:they do recces
4:they do special days like Christmas parties thanksgiving lunch and more
kumon really helped me with my grades, i went from getting 87 to 96 on math. though i sometimes end up doing my worksheets at school during lunch because im a lazy ass
Littrly I hated komon so much I ripped all of the sheets up
And what happened after that?

Bro kumon doesn't even cover some of the stuff that you experience in classes.
I'm on J and I'm 13. I've been going to Kumon for almost about 3-4 years and it's barely helping me AT ALL. It will only help your kid by ingraining the multiplication and division tables and fractions. THAT'S IT!! It starts off easy but when you go more up in the levels, they skip over the stuff that you're supposed to learn and expect to somehow magically do it all on your own.

I'm actually wondering how I can stand homework from Kumon and homework from school. That just sounds scary to me.
Kumon reading made me loose my ability to make sentences and nothing helped me at alllllll
