Has anyone tried Kumon for their kids? We live in the Bay area and there seems to be one Kumon center per town around here. I think they're all over the country.
For those who don't know, Kumon is a Japanese system/company that provides instruction and lets kids work at their own pace in maths and reading/writing (in fact, the whole point is that they move at a pace that suits them). The Kumon maths program goes from counting to 10 to calculus and probability/statistics. The reading and writing run through similar levels.
We haven't tried it yet but we're going to look into it. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it. Kumon could also be a good option for homeschoolers.
