Foreign Perspectives

Kumon has a “praise at every opportunity” philosophy so over the early part of the year we were running at a couple of certificates per month for most months.

With the summer and the extra subject for each of the little guys that pace has slowed somewhat as they’re going through the same number of sheets for both subjects together as they’d been doing for one subject before. Thus, we’ve now reached the point where we’ll have a little flurry of certificates over the next month or so followed by nothing until around Christmas.

Our original theory was that as they were on holiday they’d be able to do more of the Kumon work but it didn’t pan out like that as they were if anything even more tired after a day of holiday activity than after a day of school activity. With school starting soon we’re not sure what to do re doing both subjects so are initially considering September a trial month before we make our minds up.
