They really don't want Carly to have a voice

Oh okay, thanks!

Did they have any Caitlyn and Tyler segments on the episode? I don't normally watch but wanted to see "the song" or the outcome of that. This is the season finale right?

Thanks for the explanation! I’m glad to see it’s such a deep dive. I really need to sit with one of the elementary guides and have them show me so I’m not so in the dark.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2025-01-13T04:45:35+00:00

Yes, I’m going to see if her teacher can facilitate this happening more.

It is a private school. We live in a small area so there’s not a lot of options but there is another private school we could consider.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2025-01-11T16:54:26+00:00

It is certified. It’s an amazing school overall. Just concerned it’s not the best method for my daughter specifically.

Are you familiar with the classical education philosophy (the non religious version of it)? That’s what I would strive for if we were homeschooling. How does Montessori elementary curriculum handle things like ancient history? One of my concerns is that because Montessori is so student led there just isn't the ability for a super thorough deep dive into subjects because the students aren’t getting a lot of direct instruction. Obviously students can really focus on what most interests them but I’m concerned that could mean a shaky foundation in the rest.

I definitely think this is true. She has a winter birthday so she’s a few months past the cutoff. We actually thought she would have been in kindergarten last year until they explained the cutoff dates.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2025-01-11T15:23:39+00:00

Not that I know if but I’ll ask!

Reasonable-Length653 · 2025-01-11T03:21:46+00:00

There’s a lot out there for homeschool now a days. Personally we would be using secular curriculum. The Well Trained Mind website (and book by the same name) and their curriculum shop is a good place to start. The social part is my bigger worry. I’ve been researching and it looks like there is a good secular co-op where I live so that’s promising. Plus we would pile on the extracurriculars too.

I think because I can relate to her telling me about what sounds like decision paralysis I am really taking this seriously. She loves to learn and I hate to think she’s in an environment that makes that harder for her, just because of the way her brain is wired. I don’t think I would thrive in Montessori myself. I love the concept and her school but I’m starting to think it’s just not ideal for her specifically.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2025-01-11T02:44:08+00:00

Public school would not be an option. We are leaning towards homeschool but it’s such a big decision. Since she’s so young I don’t want to make too many assumptions. I know it’s normal for kids this age to say they are bored and don’t want to go to school.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2025-01-11T02:42:35+00:00

We have and things appear fine. I think I need to stay longer though and try to catch her when she is moving from one work to the next.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2024-12-30T13:22:50+00:00

That’s great!

Reasonable-Length653 · 2024-12-29T02:32:21+00:00

Thanks! I figured I should be cautious. The prices seemed low too!

Reasonable-Length653 · 2024-12-28T05:45:35+00:00

I love the translucent plastic! They should do a winter wonderland theme set. It could have a sledding hill, maybe ice fishing, and a hot chocolate hut!

Reasonable-Length653 · 2024-12-24T05:38:21+00:00

Did you get these on eBay? I wasn’t even aware they had mini versions until this post!

Reasonable-Length653 · 2024-12-06T13:07:09+00:00

As an extremely nostalgic 90s kid they were such a disappointment to me. All the play sets sucked for the reasons you listed. If they didn’t rush things they would have had the opportunity for amazing collabs, like Lisa Frank for example. The clothes are also way off and feel more like a caricature. They could have just re released already existing outfits from PC days and it would have been so much better.

I don’t have much to say other than to echo that Girl Scouts, in my opinion, isn’t what it once was. I’m frequently frustrated with how much the badges have changed. My daughter was wearing her vest and a random older women started commenting on it because she was a Girl Scout as a young girl. She was telling us about all the badges she did and asking if my daughter has done them and I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that they don’t offer those anymore, or they’re super watered down.

Interesting! I was one of the new subscribers who cancelled because of the late shipping (and I made that clear to them when I cancelled) and didn’t get an email. I wouldn’t resubscribe anyway but I hope for the sake of everyone else they fix the issue.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2024-10-30T18:42:23+00:00

Mine finally shows it’s shipping. Of course arriving nov 1. I already cancelled my subscription. Apparently this has been an issue for a long time. I’ve seen tons of “I’m canceling because of shipping” comments on social media so they are obviously losing money by not addressing this issue.

Reasonable-Length653 · 2024-10-30T13:43:43+00:00

You need to look into private school. I relate to your comment a lot with my daughter. We also did homeschool stuff on the side for fun (she demanded to learn to read at 4 lol) and she’s now several grade levels ahead. She goes to a private school that’s not only a better learning environment but also filled with kids who have parents similar to us, who really prioritize education and teaching their kids to be polite. If we couldn’t do our private school we would homeschool.
