[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in M school. I haven't read all the responses but I have a few opinions. pros: - lots of manipulatives for learning math and letters - lots of small group work and working with a partner - kids chose what to work on when, within guidelines of what has to get done each day/week - none of that "we're all going to paint the same picture/make the same craft/go to the bathroom at the same time" institutionalization - mixed age in the classroom can inspire younger kids to try harder academic material that older kids are doing - really smart kids have the independence to advance in a subject as they feel ready cons: - same teacher for 3 years sucks if the kid and the teacher don't like each other - mixed age in the classroom could open the door to some bullying by the older kids - little to no homework means kids lack study skills when they leave M school [/quote]
