[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thanks to everyone who has posted in this thread so far. It seems like there are various ways to know that your child is on track -- from knowing what 'level' they are reading to asking about the goals they are setting for their work and how that compares to other kids. And then there are standardized assessments at various points in the year that tells you how your child is doing. It all still seems a bit fuzzy although I guess there is a certain degree of 'having faith' in the system.[b] I have noticed that elementary parents at our school seem to fall into two camps, either amazed by the advanced nature of the work that their kids are doing or seemingly concerned that their kids are mastering the material that they should be on time[/b]. This type of psychology also seems present with the previous posters on this board. I imagine if you are in the second camp, it could be difficult to maintain in the Montessori system....[/quote]

Oh, I hate hearing this.  My kid is one who, unlike peers, seems to be learning nothing in the primary classroom.  I was counting on waiting it out till elementary with the expectation that we would catch up.[/quote]
