Got both my sons K & 1st grade in a "Tuition" version of one, those type of schools are prevalent here in my area.

Really love it so far, tons of enrichment activities, they use Singapore Math style which is pretty cool. They make it fun and my kids are excited to go every Am. 

They take a test every semester to gauge where they are in comparison to the CA public system and both are ahead.

My  wife and I plan to keep them in this system for as long as we can.

i debated heavily, talked to a few people and generally found that they tend to be insulated bubbles, basically a bunch of rich white kids. of course it also depends on your demographic area, but the ones i looked at had that issue.

i put my kid in an arts magnet school. montessori philosophies underlie a lot of the education and it's also a complete cross section of society - her kindergarten class looks like a mcdonalds commercial. great measurable outcomes in all areas.

Im a fan of the framework.  Especially for kids that have demonstrated an ability to perform above grade level and have difficulty with the slower pace of the traditional classroom.

Was enrolled in a Montessori based program for grades 5-8.  At the time that's as far as the program went and I had to go back to regular old Greensboro Public Schools.

 

Not sure how a Montessori class for little ones would differ from regular pre/kindergarten/1-3.

      Fair question, and I don’t have an answer for you. I just keep watching games and opponents keep doing the same thing with no adjustments being made. And for sure last years squad was weak, no doubt. It just feels very predictable, and line up choices feel questionable at best. But that is my take from the couch.

      You can not trust anyone, I have learned this. Still you must get the message across, All college QBs need extra attention this year. Id honestly feel drafting 2 should be the plan. Drafting is the only solution, unless anyone believes another Jake Delhommey deal happens. Panthers won the QB lotto with Jake, its so rare that another Jake isn't walking on this team....   Im not ready to write off the season and I think the huddle should know better.....its just been 7 years of disappointment......It changes you. I said no week one is a "must", but in 30 years this felt the closest to one given the poor Jags, bad QB, and new staff. Panthers had some hope, now its all gone.   I sped though the game again, I noticed Jags were better prepared than I thought. The Jags coaches on both sides seem to have the Panthers playbooks and knew how most developed. I don't know if TB gave Coen Daves playbook, it felt like it the first time watching and even more the second. Jags knew what was coming and it made the Panthers look worse than they are.  Still a long season......
