[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No recent experience, so I guess you will get snippy with me too.  But we left Lee in 2nd grade because, as you say, there's an element of "fit"- some kids really do well with Montessori and some just don't. This was years ago.

OP here. Thank you for responding! And I'm sorry for the extreme snippiness, it's just been a day.

I'd love to hear more about why you left. Were there things about your kid that, in retrospect, just weren't a great fit for Montessori? I'd love to be able to be on the lookout for those sorts of things as we evaluate our options. How did you feel about the academic side of things? On one hand, I think kid-directed learning can be wonderful, and I love their emphasis on just reading books (would love to raise a reader). And, my kids at least right now, seem to have fairly academic interests and are self motivated on things like reading and learning basic math. But it's hard to know if that would fade. And at some point, ya know, like it or not you need to learn fractions.

Would really love to hear more from you about why you switched. My temporary email address is on the chain if you'd rather talk offline. [/quote]
