My kid has been with CMA for the past six months. How big is a class in a CMA class on average? The one my kid's attending has approx. 15 students in one class and they are of different levels. Will the teacher be able to teach that many students and all at different levels?

Has he finish learning all the formula? If he has not, then he may not be able to add or subtract certain numbers. As for how to know whether the class is taught well, it's a tough question. :idea:

I have some students transferred from CC. The few general complaints are..
1. Class size too big, 1 teacher to 25 students, students at the back are noisy and making alot of noise, teacher unable to control the class.
2. Teacher takes no interest in helping the weaker students. The mum told me she don't even mind teaching the child herself but the teacher is impatient and can't be bothered to spend time to analyze with her what problem the child has.
3. Progress too fast, dump the child alot of new things to learn every lesson. The child can't catch up.
4. The child learn for 1 year but only learn abacus and did not learn mental calculation.

Assuming your child is already familar with the abacus and formula, it doesn't take very long to swop him to 2 hands. He just need to go through all the formula he has learned before and practice them with 2 hands.
