[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think these issues won't exist in the "selective" preschool? Does the "selective" preschool have age appropriate expectations?

Because you aren't doing your child any favors to put him in a school that won't tolerate him.[/quote]

Yes! X a million. My DC is super bright, consistently scores in the 99th percentile for every single academic measure, my DH and I both have great academic pedigrees (ivy) and good job titles and we were having serious meetings about whether they were going to allowed to finish out the year at their good but not super selective pre-school. It was really really horrible. Unless you are the CEO of Amazon or equivalent the school is looking for easy, compliant kids. I don’t know enough to say if your kid is going to have bigger issues than a rough transition but please don’t set them up to fail. Also apply to more progressive schools and think long term about public. One of my friends’ kids go to a fancy private school and they were straight up told this is a school for kids who sit still and listen. And their kid can do that so it’s fine, mine could not at 4 (and even now probably would not meet their standards)[/quote]

OP They do. I am applying to a couple progressive schools but here I am concerned about lack of structure?

If this is just a transition period, I don’t want to hold him back. Don’t want him to get penalized for 2 months as a 27 month old?

If it turns out there are deeper problems, we will look to address them and if nothing works, move him elsewhere. [/quote]

Lololol.  Reinforcing the good isn’t going to get your PITA toddler to behave.  She doesn’t behave because you don’t have discipline at home.

Winners have discipline.  Try harder.[/quote]
