Do you know which post has had the most traffic on Maths Insider? There’s a
big clue in the Wordle word cloud above!
It’s my post, “8 Things to Hate About Kumon – A
Review”（http://www.mathsinsider.com/8-things-to-hate-about-kumon-a-review/）
Of course, if you’ve read my About page, you’ll know that I used to be a
Kumon instructor. I ran a Kumon tutorial centre in the UK for 3 years.
But some Maths Insider readers have asked me,
“What is Kumon?”
You see, not everyone has heard of Kumon, even though, according to their
official website, they have had 16 million students in 46 countries around
the world.
So let me tell you about Kumon – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!
Kumon is an educational franchise, originally founded by Toru Kumon in 1956
The Good
Like McDonalds, the franchising effect means that there are thousands of
Kumon centres around the world, from Germany to South Africa and from The
Phillipines to the US, all helping children with maths.
The Bad
Each instructor, although trained by Kumon will bring their own personality
to the program, some are rigid and some are flexible. The majority have
never been teachers.
The Ugly
Like McDonalds, profit is the big motive. Kumon is worth over $650 million,
made from charging $100 a month, taking 40% from franchisees, and employing
young and poorly paid support staff.
Kumon students typically visit the study centre once or twice a week and are
given homework to do for the other 6 days
The Good
At the study centre your child gets support from the Kumon staff and sees
other children, all studying towards a common goal.
The Bad
As a parent, you have to take your child to the centre, or arrange for the
work to be sent to you each week.
The Ugly
You the parent have to “police” your child’s Kumon homework 5 or 6 days a
week, and field the complaints of, “It’s BORING!”
Kumon is an “individualised” learning program – students only move up to
the next level when they have mastered the work. Mastery is defined as speed
and accuracy
The Good
Each student works through the program at just the right pace for themselves
, and children will develop motor and concentration skills as they repeat
the worksheets.
The Bad
The repetition and the speed criteria in particular can be tough for
children to meet.
The Ugly
Students can literally get stuck at certain difficult stages in the Kumon
program for weeks due to the strict enforcement of target times.
All Kumon students start with easy work relative to their ability
The Good
Student’s will find the work easy and will initially enjoy doing the
worksheets.
The Bad
The easy Kumon work eventually becomes not so easy, and then really rather
difficult.
The Ugly
Doing 10 pages of questions like these, quickly and accurately is extremely
difficult. Even Kumon themselves call this the Level D mountain.
Kumon Level D Worksheets
The Kumon program encourages independent learning
The Good
The Kumon worksheets explain and guide students whenever a new topic is
introduced, therefore they can work independently.
The Bad
Students can’t always figure out the work themselves, especially at the
higher levels. At larger centres, it can be impossible for instructors and
assistants to have the time to explain the work.
The Ugly
There are tales on message boards of students being driven to tears because
instructors refused to explain work to them.
Want to know more about Kumon?
The Good
The Kumon US or Kumon UK websites.
The Bad (actually more funny than bad!)
A mother enrolls herself onto the Kumon program for 5 months, “I’m a Math
Moron” – Slate Magazine
The Ugly
Donald Sauter, a former Kumon instructor spills all! His Kumon contract was
not renewed after he radically tried to change the system, he tells the
whole epic story on his website.
