[quote=Anonymous]Montessori was not good for my kids and we left after two years in lower elementary. But I've kept in touch with families that stayed all the way through 6th and their kids had no trouble transitioning to "traditional" school. Traditional school isn't so traditional anymore - no desks in rows, for example, it's tables with kids facing each other. So I agree you should lottery for Montessori if you can make the commute work. I think all the charter montessoris are true montessori schools. Shinning Stars had an awful admin for a while but not sure their status now. Also, look at the demographics at the schools you are looking at. There is no way UMC families are going to put up with harsh or strict discipline. Lafayette didn't have silent lunch when we were there. The teachers did try to keep kids quiet when they walked in a line in the halls, but their success at this wasn't great and no consequences followed. [/quote]
