Is your child bored at school?

There are 365 days per year, but our children are in school only 180 days.  What happens with the other 185 days?  Between play dates, sporting events, team celebrations, holidays, vacations and birthdays, what are our children really using, applying and retaining from only 180 learning days?
It is no wonder that our children stress over the first day of school, pop quizzes, standardized tests, entrance exams and being called on in class.  Of course summer vacation reading will help alleviate the summer slide of learning, but do you blame them for not remembering what 2,356,345,235.24 divided by 2, really is? Or even what the answer to  .  To many adults this is a foreign language, but to high schoolers it is just another day in math class.
This year we as parents need to take the initiative and build our children’s educational confidence.  This Sunday, October 16, Kumon Learning Center of West Worcester is hosting an open house event from 2pm-5pm. 
Our children will finally be able to raise their hand with an answer instead of a guess, will feel proud when their name is placed on the board and will get a stress free night’s sleep before the big exam!  Take a stand this Sunday, October 16, and make the other 185 days count!
