What is the downside to going to Kindergarten at a Montessori school? The school goes up to the 5th grade. I am just thinking of keeping my dc in the school for Kindergarten and then explore my options.

- less entry spots in 1st grade? why not apply out for K, then if you don't get in, you'll have the chance to reapply to schools you liked

  - My ds scored terribly on the erb. He is taking the SB and the Hunter test and if he bombs I was thinking of keeping him in his Montessori school. This is his first year there prior to that he was in another nursery school for 3 years.

    - what do you consider terribly? the fact that you are even testing him for hunter means he is smart

        Testing a child doesn't mean the child is smart: it merely indicates you have the means to have the child tested. Not testing a child doesn't mean a child is not smart.

Any wives of declaration signers on? I feel so alone, with DH out trying to build a country for everyone else when he has a family at home!
