This slightly worried me at first as I was reminded of the pressure my Dad put on me to always do well in maths at school – but having looked at it the methods SG is using are very progressive (they are from the 1980s and are a development of European progressive education from the 1970s) and less high pressure better than current “Western” teaching!
