[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 social/emotional support (which Lee is  outstanding at) 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]

Pk3er recognizes no letters or numbers (other than 0-2) and cannot write his name. He doesn't know any letters or how to hold a pencil correctly. Older student a little better, but told me when we made him write a little every day that he never has to do it at school and didn't appreciate it very much. He complained about how much more we made him learn at home. The older one knew his letters and numbers when he enrolled. [/quote]
