    Went to Kumon from grade 2-11ish. I was actually getting ahead, not catching up, and I actually do endorse the "a little worksheet every day" style of learning for math (dodges younger me's death glare).
    But also he's absolutely right. You are basically paying for extra homework since it's largely independent learning.

    • @prateekkarn9277
      @prateekkarn9277 Před rokem +2

      My experience:
      Kumon did not help me, in fact, I started hating math cuz of Kumon, I even started suffering math at school.
      I absolutely loathed doing maths at all and I'd simply start crying because it felt unbearable. It felt like Chinese water drop torture and solving even a single simple addition started taking more and more time because I was starting to loathe maths so much.
      After lots of pleading and begging our parents stopped the hell that was Kumon for me and my sister.
      And it really severely impacted my math performance from that point on. Until year 9 where I decided I wanted an A* and call it quits and never do math again.
      Unfortunately life had more cruel ideas for me later on but Kumon is a hell I wish upon no child.

      @@prateekkarn9277 @Prateek Karn For me, math was the only class where I felt okay at in elementary school - I pretty much had a "if I don't want to do it, I won't do it" attitude, pretty much if I couldn't skate by with bare minimum effort, then I wouldn't work on it. I was not good in school, except for math, which I just clicked early on with me.
      Elementary School math was kind of all over the place, so until middle school where it got streamlined. That's where I realized that Kumon already taught me what I needed to know already.
      The one math class I took in my senior year though was my favourite class, and it was definitely not covered by Kumon - Probability and Statistics. My favourite class of all time.. ironically, physics I was not good at despite it mainly being math lol

      As a former Kumon student, I've met very few people who know what it is lol
      In case nobody has said it yet, it's a math and reading tutoring center (I think some do Spanish too). It's general strategy is to give "short" daily worksheets that take to complete independently, which is what Steven refers to as extra homework. 1-2 times/week, the student would come to the center where they would have access to tutors. Some of whom may be actual math teachers, others (like me) were former students that needed a part time gig in high school/college.

    When I was in 3rd grade, our math team/math club managed to get into the top 3 on math competitions. Somehow, my parents thought it was a good idea to sign me up for some kumon💀 I spent the whole day at school juggling my studies, math club, journalism club, and kumon. Kumon did nothing but increase my homework as the same techniques were being taught in my math club XD
    They also had to mark me absent multiple times as I was either late due to math club or in another city for the math competitions. Eventually, the instructors made me choose if I like math club or kumon more. Guess which one I chose👀
