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.

      Appreciate you, brother!  I know it was lengthy, but I felt whoever actually read it would appreciate it.

      Damn good take, brother.  I think I take that poo personally because (sidebar: I don’t like to use narcissist often because social media has made it a buzzword and diluted the meaning, so when I use it, I don’t take it lightly) I grew up in a home with a raging narcissist, then married a narcissist and just came out of a divorce after a 20 year marriage with her, where afterwards she met and married another narcissist.🤣  And in my dealings with them, over my 41 years on this earth, at times I took great delight in breaking down their arguments point by point and forcing them to either acknowledge their wrongs and take ownership of them or watch them yammer and stammer away when they ran out of lies and excuses.  At various points, that was extremely satisfying, but ultimately, which I’ve realized especially after the last 3 years and going through the divorce and everything, it does NOTHING to them.  It doesn’t affect them one way or another.  For a logical, reasonable, grounded person, you would think calling them in their poo will bring it to their attention when they’re face when nothing but facts and truth and force them to change, but nope.  Not in the slightest.  They just disassociate from the ones who do that and find more people who will validate their behaviors and thinking.  poo pisses me off because they’re so destructive and couldn’t care less so long as their needs are met.
