[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids at Lee and I've found this period of time interesting in terms of 1) school is doing a lot for distance learning. 2) School (I hope) feels that this is more to help families than to actually facilitate learning, because it's hardly a replacement for school. But 3) I've been a bit surprised at how little my kids actually know compared to their peers. I'm concerned that following the child and focusing on[b] social/emotional support (which Lee is  outstanding at) [/b]may have real costs as they get older.  [/quote]

How old?

What don’t they seem to know? We are at another Montessori and I wonder this too sometimes. But also I feel it’s just different what they know, not less. In some ways more.[/quote]

I'm interested in Montessori and would like to know this answer to this, too. My Pre-K 3 at a DCPS has learned to count to 30, the alphabet, his colors, shapes, how to spell his name, and his teacher did a tree study, a house study, and a clothing study. He's still working on phonetics, writing his name and tracing the alphabet.

There's not much of a focus on social/emotional learning, though.[/quote]

Montessori doesn't have a SEL focus either.  If you want that, you'd need to go to a school that offers it, such as Langley or Garrison.[/quote]

I was responding to PP's mention of Lee Montessori's focus on [u]social/emotion support[/u]. I probably should have used that terminology in my post rather than SEL.
