[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a good fit for my very social, active DS. Would have hated working at stations, emphasis on fine motor, and high student:teacher ratio. Went for play-based preschool with lots of outdoor gross motor play time instead.[/quote]

What happened when he had to start traditional school? Working at a desk, emphasis on fine motor, etc all elements of traditional public school.[/quote]

That's why we now spend the $$$ to send him to a highly regarded private school in DC. 1-2 hours of outdoor play daily, PE daily, reading formally introduced in first grade not PK, 45 minutes for lunch (just lunch, not lunch/recess), etc. He loves school. That, to me, is worth every penny.

It is unfortunate that even the very good public schools in NW DC have to relegate things like sports to after school activities rather than have them as part of the normal curriculum. Children like mine would not do well there. [/quote]
