[quote=Anonymous]NP here. My child has been a private school in VA for less than a year and is not responding well to the classroom in the last month or so (lots of teacher turnover, couple kids acting out, kids leaving for Kindergarten). He's reporting being told "I'm [he's] bad" not "having bad behavior" and is treated better when "I'm [he's] good." Issue is mainly one of focus, but seems to be new in the last few weeks during all this change.

I'm not sure what of this is his interpretation versus instructor language but we are looking to leave as I see his confidence dwindling and he never wants to talk about his school day.

Looking for a new school and not sure if montessori is a good fit or if it's just a bad environment at THIS school. Before we start looking, what criteria do you think makes sense to help us evaluate fit before starting? He was "evaluated" at this school and they thought he'd be fine (for profit, trying to grow, not sure they turn down anyone).

I'm not an educator, but I know I have a 90% of the time well-behaved kid who's able to focus on tasks at home. How do I know I'm making a good choice for him? It feels like we failed him on this and not eager to fail him again.[/quote]
