[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the behaviours in and of themselves sound so bad, but the frequency seems high, and the lashing out at other students is problematic. [/quote]
This is what I think too. Understaffing could be an issue also.

I don't see that these issues would be improved by moving to play based, unless the staff ratios are much lower there.

- Ripping up another kids project when the kid says he can't help with it
[b]Kids often have their own projects and crafts in play based care and are entitled not to want a classmate to "help" them.[/b]

- Dumping over his own work (what montisorri calls their activities) if its time to wrap up and he's not done
[b]Kids at play based care also have transition times and are sometimes required to stop what they're doing before they want to. If anything, I would think the lengthy Montessori work cycle would have fewer transitions[/b]

- During times of a lot of noise and transition, getting too close to other students and bumping into them (he's never hurt anyone at school but does touch other kids)
[b]Same as previous. [/b]

- Doing things like purposefully splashing water on the floor at their little sink where they're supposed to wash their own dishes
[b]Kids at play based care also have access to sinks and may be expected to bus their own dishes and utensils at lunch. Mine did this.[/b][/quote]
