To Kumon or not to Kumon. That is the question.

[megabored]

DD is starting school in September. Below are the Pros and Cons I have been debating recently.

1. She is bright, so should be okay without extra help in school
2. It is too early to put her through this
3. Kumon is expensive and time consuming.

The Pros

1. It may give her that bit of extra confidence at school
2. Earlier is better as then she can grow with that system
3. Its not so expensive as to be prohibitive.

I really cant decide either way. Please someone help?

Indeed, holiday.

She/he has also been dropping "hints" to me of a previous mumsnet persona. I haven't taken the bait!

Why are you announcing your name change? Doesn't that rather defeat the object?

Is that to me Feenie? I was holidaymaker, missmarple was taken.

What hints Seeker? Why has she got it in for you?

Sorry, holidaymaker, completely crossed wires.

Yes - he/she has most definitely targeted Seeker - and her dc. Most unpleasant.

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.

Unpleasant and sneering tone to many of his posts, whatever the username.

Heyn feenie dod you see you got deleted back there (Tuesday?) For merely agreeing with what I'd said, although my comment remains. How bizarre.

Very odd!

It's a very odd thread ...full stop!

My favourite quote of the thread though the monty python comes a close second :o

The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.

You are not wrong, mrz! Hope you and clam are feeling better today.

True, a little learning is a dangerous thing, but it still beats total ignorance.

Thank you

'Fraid not. Used up my last bit of puff finishing those reports. Have now keeled over and taken to my bed.

Awwww, get well soon, clam.

MNHQ have deleted you too now.

Really? How funny!

Now you are misquoting Gloria Estefan......

A joke is a very serious thing.

Missed all the commotion. What's going on?! Why are posts deleted?

No you didn't - it all happened on Monday, when Pooshtun broke MN guidelines several times.
