[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will definitely be filing a comment recommending that they not be allowed to expand unless they open their school to grades beyond PK-4.  Even if it's only to those with previous montessori experience.  It's insane that they are the only school that doesn't do this.  Anyone else who feels this way should too.  While there will be retention, there is also attrition and those seats remain open (even though there are families and children interested).  [/quote]What a sour grades point-of-view! I'm hoping you're not a current parent. You sound like a gem...NOT! LAMB is a fantastic school looking to serve children in the District with a stellar program. As Montessori, it is alike all others in not permitting admission beyond Pre-K 4 (I understand they've *thought* about extending to K for last admission). Someone compared this to Jedi night training in another thread a long time ago, which I remember. You have to start the kid early before the anger sets in. The style of learning needs it's roots to be laid early. Older children cannot adapt. Not to mention the added layer of bilingual. With respect to granting admission to kids with prior Montessori, LAMB IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS! Charter law prevents it. So, instead of trying to put a monkey wrench into their expansion efforts, but don't you lobby the Charter Board to change this. Including having a provision to allow kids with prior language experience to enter immersion schools at higher grades. MV and YY would love to give priority admission to native Spanish and Mandarin speakers, etc..., but they've been disallowed due to short-sighted rules. Why don't you do something positive and steer your energy to changing that?[/quote]

LOL...  I am a gem, actually.  Hey I did all the hard work for you (Logan Montessori below)
 Children are accepted at 3 years of age for the Primary Program (ages 3–6). Depending on space availability, transfer students are accepted for all grades from Pre-school through Grade 7 (and 8 grade beginning in school year 2015-2016), if the child transferring is from an accredited Association of Montessori Internationale school or program.[/quote]NP. OMG, you're so stupid. Logan is a DC public school, operating under more permissive rules denied to charter schools. Talk about being loud and wrong! So glad you're not at LAMB![/quote]

JEEZ.  New poster here, but it seems the only nasty/crazy one is the LAMB one.  Seek help for yourself

JEE[/quote]

Agree.  And she's wrong too.  Other Montessori schools take kids past PK4, without Montessori experience including Lee and SSMA.[/quote]They are not true Montessori then. But, if they have openings, why don't you try there? [/quote]
