Still have the car in the family. 7 years!

Look at, can’t imagine not knowing your timetables does that mean you’re probably weren’t in any advanced placement classes or took your SATs seems like you’re just limited

I was in IB classes all of high school and have a 3.81 GPA in college but thanks for the concern! I’d check the grammar on your comment before you call someone else “illiterate”

@@sarahstrings12 touché, i’m a little bit more concerned about these schools let alone the academic, problems I think that’s pretty clear. I see with the schools I’m scared that these are the places that can hide the abused kids you come from the schools of a child coming from abusive home.

Sorry, I use the microphone text typing feature, and the dictation throws a lot of my grammar off but I do have terrible grammar ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I agree, I had a friend who went to a Montessori school when she was younger. She was a whiz at math and science

Thanks for the reminder! I actually don’t even have this car anymore and I have new mace so I’m good!

Yes you can!

Hey there - hope I can give my side of things as a 25 year old who went to Montessori through 1st grade. I'm still not entirely shocked by the amount I can remember, but for me, I re-did 1st grade when I was switched to public school. >> I remember at the time though, there was an update happening to the math and science aspect of the 2nd/3rd grade section of the school room which is why my dad, a math professor at Purdue at the time, and my mom, also a math teacher with her masters, made the switch. She and I are probably from around the same time which would explain the lack therof. From my experience, the only "cons," would be that at the time, my science and math skills weren't exactly up to par with the West Lafayette district I was moving to, hence why I re-did 1st grade, but for the experience, I wouldn't have changed a thing. The long-term effects of the cons would be possibly more prominent when placed in slower educational systems or tracts, I found my ADHD self partially drifting off and doing more independent study deeper into the topics than just showing up in high school and answering the questions on the worksheet. When we were reading Shakespeare, I was learning on the side the history of the English language as well as learning the original pronunciation still exists and when read in said "OP," 2/3 of the sonnets actually rhyme vs the modern RP of London. With words in those pronunciations actually meaning two things at a time, including the histories of the English dialects. I found myself integrating a lot of independent study onto related topics beyond just the school work. Granted, I moved from West Lafayette public schools to Olathe Public Schools after 4th grade. I don't mean to bash, the teachers do their best, but you can see the different rankings between the districts online. As an adult however and even in the higher education scene though, I am thankful for this type of independent stuff. Not just doing the minimum, but looking into these topics as well. That was something she mentioned in the video that really struck me at least, the independent bit and also being more mature and somehow feeling more level with adults in some aspects.

I remember at the time though, there was an update happening to the math and science aspect of the 2nd/3rd grade section of the school room. That section wasn't taboo per say, but there were activities for them that we weren't really allowed to mess around with or if we did, and someone who needed it wanted to use it, they had first dibs automatically. I never experienced it, but I have to say they had the 2nd and 3rd grade sections parked out with students so you had 1st -3rd kind of learning together in the same room. Each person had their own binder of things/topics/activies they had to do with some of them lasting a whole day or an hour or so, but I remember reading with one of the older students who I'd always thought was a bully. After that, I don't know the long-term effect the experience had or what had happened to lead me to think of that, probably a rough confrontation, but I was surprised at how nice he actually was at least in the moment. I thought he was cool and looked up to him in that way little kids look up to others in their age group as being smarter and somehow wiser. They probably have made strong updates to the sections since then, but that's my take.

She and I are probably from around the same time which could explain the general lack therof. My mom later on though made sure that we were doing mental math flashcards and keeping up with skills during the summer too. As for private school or public school, as someone who went into the West Lafayette public schools, one of the districts in the top 5% percentile (trust me. I say it with gratitude on my parents who made a conscious effort for that), I would say the biggest thing would be to ensure that type of independence learned from ground up is able to be fostered. When we moved to Kansas, the public school system was noticeably something. I felt kind of like I'd gone back a grade, felt babied, and idk. Don't get me wrong, I liked my teaches, but something about it felt sterile. Starting in 3rd grade in WL, we were allowed to walk to lunch on our own as a privilege. Moving to Kansas though, 4-6th had to line up. The jungle gym for the WL system, obviously changed given that there was a school for pre-K - 3rd, and another for another set of upper grades including middle school, but in Kansas where it was all smooshed together Pre-K- 6th, it just felt really sterile and like some of that independence was hampered. I remember it actually really well. We had a gym gym at WL with the glossy floor and it felt like we were treated as adults, but in Kansas, the floor was carpeted. Please don't get me wrong, I respect and would love to see those teachers again, but that type of difference is the biggest thing I would suggest taking into consideration.

Yes

Love this! Honestly life is too short to be Unhappy

Listen to yourself! I went to this one college because my parents wanted me to but everything felt off. From the time I was applying to receiving my letter of acceptance.

Omg I love that

@@sarahstrings12 I feel like if people knew this it would be a much more fun experience to read lol

Wayfair

@@sarahstrings12 thank you!
