Hi nightlone, I am thinking of anchorpoint too and doing once per week instead of 2. But the centre manager discourages. What is your take?


My son is in full day cc and has other homeworks. Twice weekly can b taxing. The advantage of gg to the centre twice will facilitate instructor's monitoring and doing other classroom activities. Is it true?

Which level is yr child at now?

i think that for full benefit, you should try going twice as recommended because of the reasons you listed the way that they instruct (they don't call it teach) also contributes to their understanding. i think kumon's not only about doing worksheets. It's about the discipline, the concentration and the thinking.

My son's in full day cc too. So we arrange for someone to pick him up at school after half day on tuesday, rest a bit, then go to kumon. after that, he can go to ikea to play. he only has kumon reading and math and berries, so it works for us...

LOL as for level, i have to go back and see his worksheets. i never really go and monitor that. But just as a gauge :idea: , he is doing 3 digits subtraction and reading the long passages...

3 digits subtraction probably in level B. Multiplication starts in level C.

if your house is nearby the Kumon centre, twice a week still manageable.

but if your house is far away from the centre, twice a week is taxing.

nightlone,
can I check is your son’s centre each session 30 minutes or 45 minutes, for Kumon Maths ? TQ

hi dears, I have been receiving the following advice:


Choose your DS or DD school wisely.

Remember if you choose a competitive school (though it may be a good school) - be prepared for 6 years of very,very hard work. It is okay if your DS or DD can take it. Otherwise, they may be very stressed and may 'break down'. :yikes:

Best to choose a school which you feel is not 'pressurising' to let them have a fair balance of work and play. You will build a very happy child and the bond between you and your child will grow (cos you can spend happy moments with the child instead of just pressurising them to do homework,study etc etc)

:rahrah:

That's the advice I am getting also and will take it as I want my dd to enjoy their childhood as well. Also I am looking into single session schools can come home early and have tome to so homework study and play also.

A little anxious about her adjusting to P1 from childcare. I started working FT six months back so all things are new but she is super excited about going to a big school

Hi


Considering to send my son to a brand new school opening in 2014. Any parents have feedback on new schools?
