[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My kid did not do well at breakthrough - the class is defined by the behavior of the lowest common denominator, ie the worst behaved.[/b] His class had a boy who routinely was disruptive and fled the classroom and when other children went with him, the attitude was “they’ve made the choice not to learn today”.

Our kids math improved but he went in knowing his alphabet in two languages and left not knowing either.

[b]The emphasis on doing little tasks is adorable but as a friend told me about her kids experience at Montessori: my son can polish a shoe, he just can’t tie one.[/b] [/quote]

This is indicative of our experience as well. We decided to leave midway through PK3. My child is now going into 1st so this was about 3 years ago or so. Things may be significantly better. There was a very disruptive child in the class that the school had a difficult time managing. My child was one of the 3 (that I know of) that were constantly being hit. The child didn't seem to be targeting specific children, just very poor self-regulation and the aid didn't seem to help. The improper response by the school is what ultimately led us to leave. Other minor annoyances made the decision easy.

And my child left doing an amazing job folding laundry. Pretty impressive and definitely a point of pride in herself.[/quote]
