School uckies

I called up the local Montissori School, hoping to get information about their program.

Stupid me.

The guy haughtily informed me that they don't accept children older than 3 into their program unless they've already been in a Montissori School program. I mean, how am I supposed to know that they expect first time parents to be on the ball about education when the kid is still two!

That sounds less like constructive education and more like a racket they're trying to run to get kids in early and keep them there (under the guise that they won't learn elsewhere).

Good to know though for the rest of us who probably before too many more years go by will be where you are now.

I would think it has to depend on the school also - it was an option for me at 10, having been prior educated at a public school.

Yeah... This is the first time I've ever heard of a school that won't let kids in after. I can see wanting kids that have at least had day-care or pre-K if their program usually counts on that. I can't see why it has to be theirs to be valid.
