[quote=Anonymous][quote]she just picked over and over the easiest stuff to do. Maybe in a better program she would have learned more? [/quote] It depends on how you define "better," I suppose. The M program our kids attend stresses that the children need to choose their own work, although they do need to have a lesson in it. The teachers will give a lesson in something to a child who seems interested or in need of a new challenge, but I don't know what they'd do with a child who consistently picks the easiest thing. Kids have different learning styles, and parents have different attitudes towards playing to a child's strengths vs pushing them out of their comfort zones a little. My nephew sounds a lot like your daughter, and his parents pulled him out of a Montessori program into a more traditional school, where he was much happier. [/quote]
