Toru Kumon (1914-1995) Toru Kumon was born in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. Kumon was a high school math teacher in 1954 when his son Takeshi came home with a poor report card in arithmetic. "Every child is a gifted child," he once said, perhaps in reference to a remembered second grader with a poor report card.In addition to his son Takeshi, Mr. Kumon's survivors include another son, Hiroshi.TimesMachine is an exclusive benefit for home delivery and digital subscribers.This is a digitized version of an article from The Times’s print archive, before the start of online publication in 1996. He died on July 25, 1995 at the age of 81 from pneumonia. As a result of Takeshi's progress, other parents became interested in Kumon's ideas, and in 1956, the first Kumon Center was opened in The Kumon Programs are designed to strengthen a student's fundamental maths and language skills by studying worksheets tailored to a student's ability. Kumon was founded by Toru Kumon, a Japanese educator, in 1958, opening the first Kumon Math Centre in Moriguchi City, Osaka. Its goal is to communicate and further develop the educational philosophy of Toru Kumon, founder of the Kumon Method. Prior to creating Kumon franchises, Kumon had a job teaching at Kochi Municipal High School and Tosa Junior/Senior High School. It now has revenues of more than $500,000 a year.Through a network of franchised after-school centers and programs for public and private schools, the concern, which also offers a reading program, has about 65,000 pupils in the United States.Devoting no more than 30 minutes a day to the program, but doing it seven days a week, mostly at home, students in the program complete finely calibrated work sheets, each almost imperceptibly more advanced than the one before.The method requires pupils to get all the problems on a given work sheet right within a fixed time limit, generally 10 minutes, before advancing to the next level.It is a measure of the method's degree of gradation, and its stress on repetition, that there are 70 sheets of simple 1 + problems and 50 devoted to the addition of 2.In addition to teaching math, the program is designed to instill discipline and build self-esteem, a goal that is achieved in part by virtually assuring new pupils initial success by starting them on the graduated Kumon road at a point a year or two behind their current grade levels.The method has been derided by critics as a "drill and kill" curriculum that stresses rote learning and memorization over creative problem-solving, but Kumon lore is filled with stories of 8-year-olds mastering calculus.Such achievements seem all the more impressive since the after-school program, which costs about $70 a month, appeals primarily to parents whose children are lagging in school.But studies have shown that Kumon benefits gifted children as well as underachievers, groups the founder regarded as indistinguishable.
