Reply To: Arrowsmith Learning Program – Strengthen Your Child’s Brain

The girls schools and the yeshivas understand that each child is working very hard in the Arrowsmith classes that they are attending and also they do have homework to do as well at night. Therefore, the boy/girls are not responsible for the classroom material that they are missing. The parents along with the Arrowsmith teacher will decide before the schoolyear begins which classes are most benificiary the the child to be in the classroom. For example, a 4th or 5th grader would benefit greater to be doing an Arrowsmith session than sitting in a classroom and learning social studies. Also, please understand that even if the child is missing important classes like math or Chumash, most likely he is sitting for hours in class and not really “getting” the information and then he has to be tutored in that subject anyways. So when he does the Arrowsmith program and strengthens the area that he/she is lacking in then he can learn and understand the concepts (of math/Chumash/Gemorrah, etc.) that much quicker and never need help or tutoring anymore.
