My son DOES go to an AMI school. I do wonder if that is part of the reason for his underachievement. I worry that the bar is not high enough, or even that there is no bar.
His teacher points out that a major benefit of Montessori is that he is able to advance at his pace though - i.e., he is currently getting math lessons with the 4th graders. But as you can see above, his math scores do NOT reflect his aptitude in this area. His teacher says - well, you really can't place much stock in tests..............hmmmmmmmmmm.
He absolutely loves his school and really feels a sense of belonging though. He gets irate at the thought of changing schools.
How traumatic for your son was the move Jack'smom?
