I don't see anything wrong with it, its just another tool for parents to use to educate thier children. Its not about sitting them there for 5 hours a day, with match sticks between their eyelids open and strapping them to a chair in front of a tv. I have done a bit of reading on it, and from threads on o/s forums, where mums swear by it, it sounds fun for the kids and how it is incorporated into their lives through games. Its not just about the kids learning to memorise a list, thats evident when there are 2 year olds reading at a 5 year old level. Its no different from me trying to teach ds sign language. We are teaching him that to interact with my brother, and have had people telling me we are "force" teaching him, we shouldnt start teaching him until he is older. I wonder if they would say the same to a parent whose child would rely on it for the rest of their life.

We will be getting, not until the new year, as I think it will be a great tool. We plan on me being a SAHM until DS goes to kindy, so he wont be exposed to the same "education" that some other kids will.
