This is really my new pet peeve: parents that want their 3 and 4 year olds to do pre-reading and pre-math and all that shit. Pre-reading is reading your kid a book before bed. Pre-match is counting blocks and maybe doing some simple math with those blocks. If I have ten blocks and take one away, how many blocks are left? Kids need to play. I am seriously concerned for the future white adults of America. They are going to be neurotic, nerdy, needy creatures. Instead of taking your 4 year old to Kumon, take him or her to the park for the same amount of time. Oh, and the park is free.
My parents made my sister and I do Kumon for years. My sister and I hated it but it definitely worked.
CMU – haaaaa. Am totally at a loss here – I mean WTF? are we seriously that concerned over what a 3 year old does in pre-k? good god!
Pre-K: prep for the OLSAT–or whatever test the city is giving for the G&T schools next year.
gem, gem, you have a LOT to learn (first baby, right?)…don’t let the little slacker waste time “playing”…that’s so 90’s! Nose to the grindstone and if (s)he’s not reading the NYTimes by 4, you’ve failed miserably.
WAIT -WHAT?
Why does a pre-k student need tutoring? I mean either they like to play with blocks or they don’t – not too much tutoring involved in the fine arts of block building….
I was thinking about buying a new mattress store right before I saw a Kumon store… and I read “reading” as “bedding.” Since then I associate Kumon with mattresses and beading…. and “Kum-On” is sort of a gross name for a mattress store.
Well, considering most of the adults I know have no idea how to even multiply fractions, it would be nice to have a generation that can surpass 4th grade math. Kumon does a pretty good job.
Welcome to Vanderbilt : )
