[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your thoughts on transitioning from Montessori to public. My child attends a Montessori in Maryland and will be transitioning to public grade 1. My colleague and work said it will be a hard adjustment for my child. [/quote] This is purely anecdotal, but with all the students I have known in this position, yes, it is a little tricky at first. They go from freedom of movement and choice to much more restriction. A compassionate and understanding public school teacher should be able to help the transition go a bit smoother if you speak with her or him first. You'll also find that much of the material covered in these first few months or even years of public schooling were already covered within your child's Montessori education! People are very skeptical and negative, hmm? It's a strange transition, but kids are resilient. It always helps to have a super positive attitude when discussing the impending changes![/quote]
