By Anna Seacat

KUMON | Lexington, KY | (859) 970-0004
Parents who have committed their families to the KUMON journey have made the tactical decision to make academic excellence a priority in their lives.  They understand that their unwavering commitment to the KUMON program means that their children will excel in classrooms, earn high test scores, and be able to apply mastered skills in math and reading to complex problems.  In short, these parents know that KUMON’s unique methodology will maximize their child’s academic potential.

So, what should parents, who believe in the KUMON methodology, do when their child doesn’t want to do their KUMON homework, wants to stop KUMON all together, or states, “I hate Kumon!”  Not to worry.  To answer this question, I interviewed Sudha Chopra, an expert in the KUMON program, who is also a KUMON mom and owner of a KUMON center in Lexington, KY.  Below are a few of Chopra’s recommendations for parents, who may have children struggling with their commitment to KUMON.

Getting Ready for Kindergarten in the Bluegrass
Spring time is right around the corner in Fayette County in Lexington, KY, which means Kindergarten registration is upon us.  So, if you have a little one in your home, you will most likely spend the next couple of weeks sifting through your files to find your child’s birth certificate and running around Lexington to acquire proof of her getting preventative health, eye, and dental exams.  Oh yeah, and don’t forget about calling the Pediatrician’s office for that immunization certificate.  After jumping through all these hoops, there might be a few lingering questions in your head.

Why do Asian American Children Earn the Highest Test Scores in Lexington, KY ?

By Anna Seacat

KUMON students in Lexington, KY
This article will provide possible reasons why Asian American students tend to earn the highest test scores among all racially defined groups in Lexington, KY.  First, however, I will provide evidence that this scoring scenario exists.  

According to NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress), which is a “federally mandated assessment and the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in subjects such as mathematics and reading," Asian Americans in Lexington, KY are not only more proficient in math and reading than their peers, but they are more advanced as well.  The report specifically stated, “In 2013, White students in Kentucky had an average score that was higher than the average score of Black students, but lower than the average score of Asian/Pacific Islander students, and not significantly different from the average score of Hispanic students.” (pg. 25).
