As a chess parent, you have spent 1000s of dollars on chess lessons. But you don’t know if your kid is improving or not.
You ask kids what did they learn after lessons. They will answer with a chess topic or two, but they don’t remember anything else.
You’re busy at work and at home. You try to contact the chess coach to learn more. You will get an idea, and then 2 days later, you feel the same uncertainty on what is your kid learning.
