Montessori does look good on paper but in practice it's something else. My granddaughter started going to Montessori when she was 3 so she was in pre-school for about 3 years there. When it came time for first grade it became obvious that it was not the right choice. I found a private girl's school for her and that's where she's been going ever since and doing very, very well there. The problem is that it only goes through 5th grade (she's in 4th grade now) so after that I don't know what will happen. I've been paying her tuition (about $10,500 a year) but I can't afford to pay that anymore after next year.

The imbalance between the demand for and supply of quality educational venues is depressing.

Anyone familiar with private schools that use the Carden method? I'm sending my pre-K daughter to a Carden school this year and was wondering if any one of my Freeper Friends had any experience with them.
