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

The children who are in the program and who are also in a regular classroom for part of the day are getting “the best of both worlds”. They have the classroom atmosphere including most important socialization time with their friends/classmates and they get the cognitive exercises in arrowsmith. The classroom academics which they are missing out on is the very reason that they need Arrowsmith. They are usually sitting in the classroom NOT getting the information being taught. For a child to feel helpless and lost in the classroom and then to come home after a full day and not know how or what to do with the homework let alone a test or reports, is doing a tremendous disservice to him/her. I don’t know who you got your information from about the students not having dramatic improvements, but, a) like we said in the past, this is not a magic potion, it takes many weeks and months to show improvement, b) the “proof is in the pudding” because about 98% of the students that began last year are continuing this year. It’s not cheap so it must’ve shown good enough results to do it again.
