[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw this and had to echo that my child was also left crying outside the classroom at the age of 3 with no comfort just because it was disruptive to the class. There are privates, Montessori and otherwise that are cheaper or way cheaper (just as there are more expensive ones) than MSNV. THough MSNV Is supposed to be non-profit so not sure how the for-profit schools can afford to be cheaper and that too with a smaller teacher-student ratio.
Yes you can’t question. Outside time with the class is limited to 20 or so minutes. My child was not able to read till almost 6 and then picked up quickly as I spent a little time. It is perfectly OK for children to spend all their time scribbling or drawing circles or putzing around as there is no expectation rather no testing and if they don’t pick up science math or reading as well as their peers in a traditional school it’s not considered a failure. All children are considered unique and will learn by paying attention to their surroundings. They will focus on what interests them. You cannot have an agenda that they focus on STEM etc. You as a parent decide what your expectations are. Socially especially it was very tough to integrate for our child in public after third grade. Also behind in sports and other extra curricular activities. Otherwise above average in academics.[/quote]

Maybe I should start a new thread. PP, if you see this can you post more about the transition from Montessori to public after 3rd grade?[/quote]
