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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      So you can explain how he was top 10....but won't.  We need to look it up ourselves?  I googled it.  Can't find the argument based on stats and facts.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, I think Nike has it all down to a sweet mathematical science to max revenue of what they average person will buy in terms of price....and what the average person will do with a dirty jersey.   Then they construct them accordingly.   and yeah, it's not about being tackled in them but I'm sure Nike knows exactly how each tier will react to washings...and then sunlight, heat, fading and on and on.    Just asking google about it there are tons of tiktoks, you tubes, reddit posts, etc with folks complaining about what a simple wash can do to a new one.    Your washing machine gets cooler tech....so you pay more now and it doesn't last as long .  My son's football cleats that help max speed got a hole in them before they even made it into the season this past year.     Now our football jersey's are lightweight with new mesh because it's totally better.....the end game is always because the big corporations have found the synergy between new and improved and not lasting as long.  That's my take.  I think everything is made to wear out sooner under the guise of but it's better today.
