[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we just did a montessori tour today and thought the preschool program was really interesting and all the kids looked "busy" doing their own things. My concern is that my kdi is already really independent and I want her to learn more coorperative play in groups so this may not help with socialization.    I had a lot of concerns about the upper grades. I just don't get out those 5th/6th graders could transition to s school that used common core, especially for math.  Lots of kids were walking around the halls, two were sewing, some were making a pie and the teacher gives "lessons" to just two or three kids at a time.  These were 4-th through 6th graders folks.  I know a lot of schools push academics too early but at some point there needs to be some adamics. I think we will definitely consider it for preschool though.  [/quote]

My 5 year old is at Montessori.  I consider it very academic.[/quote]

Maybe for the lower grades it is.  But by 6th grade shouldn't kids be working on pre-algebra and less on making a quilt in the classroom?[/quote]

Actually my FIVE year old is currently working on geometry to get him ready for algebra.  Pretty certain that he'll be doing pre-algebra by the time he gets to 6th grade![/quote]
