Vantaggi
- Kids who do want to learn (although far fewer than those who don't at my location) are extremely motivated and will ask questions that show basic understanding . - Management is nice and understanding of personal events.
Svantaggi
- Most kids are brought because parents don't want to deal with them - As an addition to the previous note, these kids often don't care about learning coding basics. This, more often than not, results in them browsing the web and being incredibly unresponsive to any sensei trying to get them engaged. (In some cases, they throw a fit. They are kids and that's alright, but if they don't have an interest in coding, then their parents really shouldn't force them into it. My two-sense, at least.) - Others who have some interest become accustomed to following lego-like curriculum guides and never have the chance to experiment for themselves. The "prove yourself" challenges end up confusing most kids because they have been following step-by-step guides up until that point. - The Jr. course is a joke and it isn't worth anyone's time. (Mobile game) - Management wants everyone who comes by to enroll, very often including those so young that they do not know how to read (a particularly vital skill that high-school/college students aren't qualified or paid to teach).
