I can speak for number 3: 
Academically, Kindergartners in Montessori learn so much more than in the public school - the math particularly is light years removed in rigor and depth. Ex: my son did the thousand chain, which besides learning to count to 1000 is also a springboard for cubing numbers. All his classmates could read fluently by the end of the year (my son has a speech delay and was the only one who could not reach that particular goal). The critical thinking involved is much more rigorous than in public school and thus is a much better preparation for academics than public K.

This has been my experience as well with my DD who excelled in Montessori.[/quote]

This is so true!!  We had the same experience with my son. We actually sent him to Spanish Immersion for 1st grade, because the math material at public 1st grade is much more basic than what he covered in montessori K.  At least this way, he's continuing to learn rather than just review. [/quote]
