[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all seems very backwards. You want your kid to be the youngest. They will learn the most. The older kids will be bored. [/quote] Montessoris often have mixed age classrooms. They'll put first, second and third graders all in the same classroom. They do it so the younger kids learn from the older ones. [/quote] +1 It's totally normal at Montessori's to have six, seven, eight and nine year olds in the same class. No one bats at eye at some kids being 3.5 years younger than other kids in their classroom. [/quote] They do this at LAMB, Breakthrough, etc. It's a different culture than this apparent obsession in DCPS over which kid is the youngest. [/quote]
