[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't wait to see the FRL numbers for Montessori. ESPECIALLY 1-5.  Finally it will be public how few disadvantaged kids are getting any benefit from this program. It's publicly subsidized specialty education. At least they FINALLY got rid of the "prior experience" requirement that was limiting any additional elementary enrollment to rich families who could afford private montessori preK. That was the best thing Tara Nattrass did. [/quote]

The Montessori preschool is part time so requires a SAHM, so it was subsides for single earner households. If that second parent worked they likely would be over the 80%.  [/quote]

It wasn’t a requirement, it was a preference and it was never practiced because up until a couple years ago there was no waitlist at elementary Montessori. So bitter.[/quote]

Duh. If it was a full day preschool the waitlist would be endless. That’s why it’s a subsidy. [/quote]

You’re confused. Montessori public preschool charges fees on sliding scale at at the top of the range are comparable to private preschool. The only kids being subsidized are those who by definition are not “rich”.[/quote]

Then Arlington doesn't need to keep providing Montessori - parents can pay the same in private Montessori.  But I don't believe that.  How does the post-kindergarten tuition compare?[/quote]
