Like it's all smart fun and games for the little ones, but what happens when you need algebra or middle school LA or whatever (which can be years earlier than expected).
We're running into this problem. DD's school owner and teacher is an early childhood teacher who opened her own school because she had a vision and her vision (exploring sustainability in depth, making time for free outdoor play, a heavy emphasis on actually teaching social skills, critical problem solving over skills and drills) was very closely aligned with ours for early childhood education.
But DD4 has been ready for higher math for some time, at least conceptually. It's not that I think she has to do it just because she can but she's been asking to do more math and science and I know she needs more. Thus, we're going to do mix-and-match next year.
I think for children who have strengths that make them outliers in that area, at some point, they would need a teacher/mentor who is highly trained in that area and a micro school teacher cannot be a specialist in everything for everyone.
