[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience it's fine if they're generally on grade level and okay with less choice and control. But if they've fallen behind or have an undiagnosed SN, or [b]you're doing Montessori to accommodate a lack of flexibility, then it's hard[/b] [/quote]

I worry about this, but what ARE you supposed to do with a kid who is miserable in traditional school because of likely SNs including lack of flexibility? Like are you supposed to just wait for traditional school to "break" them, or do you just suffer or what?

Also, are you speaking as a parent who did Montessori and transitioned to regular school, or a teacher in regular school has worked with kids coming from Montessori, or something else?[/quote]

You're supposed to try to help them become more flexible gradually throughout elementary school, so that they are more prepared.

I'm a Montessori parent and parent of older kids who went from Montessori elementary to non-Montessori middle school who has seen this play out many a time.[/quote]

So you don't have or work with SN kids for whom rigidity is an issue? You are just sitting back and judging other families?

OK.[/quote]
