[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also spare me, all the Montessori parents claiming you’ll miss Drew and how amazing it is are not helping. You choiced out, your kid didn’t and doesn’t attend the neighborhood program. [/quote]

Yup, the beauty of having choices. Also when you start public Montessory at APS at 3 yo, 2/3 of kids are picked from low income families (another beauty of public Montessori, giving options to low income that can not afford it otherwise) , only 1/3 of these kids pay full tuition. So, yes we loved the diversity, and we didn't chooce out (is choiced a word?) to escape diversity. I loved listenening to my kid talking about Mongolia and showing in map because that's where their friend was from, or Tajikistan (probably you don't know where that is but my 4 yo could point it in the map). It was a choice that worked for our kids and us. We did 3 years at HB  when it was rated under 3, and we have been at Drew for 3 years as well. They got bussed around instead for 1 hour.  Our neighborhood school was higher rated and could might as well attended that one, we also could walk to that one. They will be further when they move to PH as well but hey whatever works. We have lots of friends in neighborhood although we don't go to same schools. So, yeah don't just spit venom on other people's choices. [/quote]

It's too bad so few people get what you enjoyed. Preschool montessori is by lottery, so to get in you have to be either lucky, low income, or willing to take the application to be admitted under the 2/3rds set aside. And for elementary montessori, no one outside of the preschool program has been admitted in 2 years, maybe 3. So it's really not a choice, it's luck.[/quote]

Yup a lucky choice. Sorry you were not lucky enough to choose out of your neighborhood school. [/quote]
