What if sibling progress is different?

February 11, 2023 by Geoffrey Nixon

No two Gemm Learning student experiences are alike.

Although most children start on the same program, depending on age, they tend to speed through the exercises addressing skills they already have, arriving at their particular areas of difficulty where, depending on severity, progress varies.

In addition, we learn about a student from following their progress, and develop protocol plans accordingly. This different exercise path further customizes the student experience.

And so, please be cautious when comparing progress of siblings. It is completely expected that scores and rate of progress will differ, often markedly. These differences have no practical correlations to outcomes — it is just a reflection of the program’s individualization.
