For those of you with positive montessori experiences - I am jealous smile

For those with not so positive experiences, I can relate. We also had an AM Certified school for DS for 2 years ages 6-7. They would not allow DS to advance at his level of readiness. In fact in the 2 years that DS was in the school in addition to a multitude of other problems that we continue to work on with psychiatric help, he actually regressed in all of his educational levels.

My suggestion is to listen to your child. Mine was actually emotionally abused by the way the program was implemented at his school. If your parental warning system is going off - There is probably a good reason to explore and try to pinpoint the problem.
