I don't think the Rapunzel thing would fly. It's a Montessori school that takes Maria's philosophy fairly seriously. She was talking about different ways to set up the pink tower and the brown blocks & ways of exploring some of the sensorial materials. It's funny though, because in the past she's commented on how he does works differently than other kids (e.g., completing the 100 board randomly or in an interesting pattern rather than sequentially, laying out the red and blue rods in an unusual way). It's been a while sense she's mentioned this kind of thing though... maybe a year? I get the feeling that she's looking for something rather specific, and he's just not that kind of a kid. He's very cerebral.
