[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I love Montessori. Kids progress at their own pace in a developmentally-appropriate environment in a mixed age classroom. They can be doing long division by the time they're 6, or they can be reading chapter books, or neither or both. There is no artificial list of skills every child must have by a certain age. Then they can move to a mixed-age elementary classroom at age 6 and continue to develop on whatever path they're on. Research has shown that there is a wide range of normal in reaching academic milestones before age 9 or so, so the Montessori model best reflects the actual reality of children's cognitive development. It is a national tragedy that most schools are so out of sync with reality.[/quote]

You made too much sense and everyone's brain short-circuited.  Don't do that anymore, it makes people uncomfortable.[/quote]

Guess so! I expected to at least get flamed for being elitist or having a kid who can't spell or write or is only good for polishing the silver at the hyper-competitive kids' houses.[/quote]
