[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the moral of the story is that if you are asking for an exception on this not-that-important thing, you are in for a realm of disappointment down the road.  Teach your kid to read quietly on the cot.  Or color quietly.  Do not expect pull out, specialized teaching, or anything else at this time. [/quote]

Nobody is asking for an exception - I think the OP was wondering if this was done (before so militant crazy helicopter mom went nap crazy.  When I toured schools back when we applied, I asked this question - because I was one of the bad parents who didn't force my child to nap at 4 years old.

Lucky, the schools we liked also don't force kids to nap - but allowed them to do other things.

You are smarter than I am, because I didn't see this issue coming (I assumed schools would accommodate the normal developmental behavior of all kids), and we ended up in a classroom that mandates the forced nap (no quiet activities).  I didn't realize how such a seemingly small thing would color my child's entire day.  What schools stick out in your mind as accommodating non-nappers?  I fear part of this is also teacher by teacher, as other classrooms in our school have different practices.[/quote]
