The Kumon (pronounced KOO-mon) learning centers are very popular here in Irvine, where parents are always looking for ways to give their kids a one-up on somebody else’s kids . . .
I’ve been thinking about opening a competing school utilizing a different method — the Come On system — in which I browbeat kids into learning the material:
“Aren’t you done with that worksheet yet?”
“No.”
“Well, come on!”
