What is the preferred choice between Kumon and Russian School of Mathematics?
- dh2022 2y agoI sent my son to both of them and I prefer RSM by far. Kumon to me was rote learning - lots of very similar problems. My son did not last even the first semester. My son then attended RSM from first grade. RSM instruction started from problems like "there are 3 birds on a branch. 1 bird leaves. how many birds are now on the branch" and progressed onward. By grade 7 he is learning logarithms and, at a very basic introductory level, abstract concepts such as function (by function I mean the real definition of a function, not the easy f(x) = 2 x + 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics))
- gowld 2y agoThat's the same as Kumon and regular school, but a faster pace than regular school. (Kumon is self-paced.)
- felixg3 2y agoAs a victim of Kumon I am still traumatized from Vieta's formula to establish relationships between the coefficients of a polynomial and sums and products of its roots. I stuck with it for 6 months during self study and now I see it everywhere in the world.
