Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
The teacher we are referring to is the only teacher our child has had at the school as he has been there about 1 year. The reason we put usually on the second half is not because of her but because she is not able to discipline the children who act out in a way that makes everything fair to the kids who are behaving. Basically the schools response, not the teachers, is to throw more bodies at the problem instead of actually teaching problem children a lesson and improving their behavior. The new director is against approaching or confronting any parents about what their children might or might not be doing as she is concerned about the numbers and dropping enrollment.

Parent #2
The teachers are very loving and assertive.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
