[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure where these parents have their preschoolers, but I'm also sick of the "my child is bored in kindergarten" postings. As if all children who start out in K will forever be bored for the rest of their lives and no other children will ever catch up to them. One parent made such a fuss near us that they ended up having to leave the school after it was determined that little Jonny was super high in math, but couldn't even write a sentence in 1st grade whereas most of the other kids from play based schools had surpassed him in this regard. We did play based and Montessori for our kids and there were positives and negatives to both. Seriously comparing two great preschools, I didn't see that one was better than the other in terms of the whole child. Just different and they emphasized different things. Yes, Montessori is known to be more academic, so I don't get why these parents complain when they put their child in public school. I want to tell them, "feel free to enroll your kid in a private elementary Montessori." I do wish parents would do searches on this subject before posting about their bored kindergartener or 1st grader 2 months into a new school. There must be a hundred "My kid is bored in K" postings both here and on the individual state public school forums.[/quote]
