It's hard to believe I may be getting one out the door to college next year....I hope. We used Montessori for the first two, it's okay I suppose. Both were placed ahead, skipping a year. Worked out for the first one, the next one I eventually kept back a year. After they left Montessori they attended a rather weak local catholic school. Nearly ruined the elder, completely ruined the second son. Took the oldest one several months in a catholic prep school to straighten out. Fortunately I know people there so that helped. The second one is going through the same drill at another catholic prep. He's coming around but it's taking a lot more time. The Montessori school was okay in some respects and a dud in others. The key, I suppose, is to stay on top of it all the way through. This became difficult for us because when the third one came along we arrived at the point where they are in three different schools, three different sets of everything. You focus on one and the other ones slack off. Now the oldest is left alone because he has responsibility but the other two still drive us nuts.
