Parents sometimes wonder about giving their child the summer off from Kumon. However, this can be very detrimental to your child’s success. By the time your student starts school in the fall, he or she will have forgotten the material learned in the spring. Therefore, your child will likely have to back up and re-learn two or more months of material, which is a waste of time. It’s better to continue Kumon over the summer, even if that means cutting the workload in half. Some students use the summer to get ahead by doubling up on the workload. If you are interested in changing your child’s workload over the summer, please let me know.
