[quote=Anonymous]I have one at a private PK-6 and two in MCPS (Blair cluster). I'm debating how long to leave the one at private, having seen a lot of the older kids from the school at work and play. The private is definitely more developmentally appropriate in terms of recess, snack breaks, etc. However, the school is TINY and there are a lot of social issues stemming from the same tiny group of kids being thrown together year after year. No one gets a fresh start and kids who are being excluded tend to stay excluded. It seems to work better for boys, who just punch it out, than for girls, who are masters of social isolation. Because the children are told to "work it out," no one ever steps in and defends the kids being shunned. So...I don't know. It's insular and easy, and there are lots of parents to pick up the slack, but there are definitely some downsides. [/quote]
