Pros

Meeting some fun and humorous children. Seeing that I made a difference in children's perceptions about themselves.

Cons

The owners of my franchise did not pay me. I had to chase down my well-earned salary two times in one month. The reading part of the Kumon method is not for the demographic and educational situation that we have in central Florida. Nonetheless, owners were unwilling to adapt the method to the needs of the students. Their only interest was charging the parents money, and having the kids repeat as many times as possible out of greed. Not interested in education or helping children - only interested in profit.
