[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LAMB is a lovely community. Your kid will get so good at Spanish. Montessori is so great for young children that I don't understand how young children go to schools that aren't Montessori. Behavioral issues are nonexistent. There are virtually no screens in the classroom. The building is beautiful. The downside to LAMB is that the shortcomings of Montessori become more apparent as the child ages. The kids can choose what they want to focus on, but what if they never want to learn math? They will be terrible at math. The school and some teachers recognize the issue, and have been working on it, but it's hit or miss. [b]The school doesn't care at all about standardized tests and barely prepares for them, and opinions will vary about whether that's a good thing.[/b] There's a lot of turnover lately among teachers, and the quality varies widely, especially in the upper grades.

The other thing is LAMB is serious about Spanish, and the kids are learning math, science, etc. in a foreign language, which I think makes it hard to compare to English-only schools. [/quote]
