I am not looking at the stupid 50% and who is average. I am seeing myself that the schools have turned from education centers to testing facilities that generate revenue for themselves. Its all about the money and not about the kids anymore.

I said I love this. OT at its best - wide open topics and let the fun begin... I am not fan of public school and have not since I was in them (got the regents thingy too.)
Public whatever just stinks. The subway this morning - delayed for the fifth time in five working days.. You get the feeling the system is run for the benifit of the transit workers - their work rules, their pensions and healthcare, their pay scale and shifts. Moving people from A to B? Well, that is just an excuse to spend the money - not the focus.
As for Montessori schools - I have heard nothing but good things. I think in England they are called Steiner schools. Good luck.
