[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ never said it wasn't fun. Developmentally appropriate is a different matter. And you never played school with a bunch of adults. Very different.[/quote] You clearly have no understanding of the Appletree model. You seem to think that the kids are sitting in rows chanting all day, learning sums by rote. I challenge you to actually go and look at how their methods work and how their typical day runs and then come back and say that it's "not developmentally appropriate". Take a look and see how their learning experiences ARE play based. Take a look at how the kids learn and how excited they are to write letters just as they are excited to role play new concepts in dramatic play. And how the kids that aren't ready for that yet are supported. Until you've done that I suggest you just stop talking about something that you have no idea about because your ill informed views are not useful for people who are trying to find out more.[/quote]
