[quote=Anonymous]I went to a Montessori program as a really little kid, and we considered Montessori for our DC, but said no. Montessori encourages tactile and experiential learning to a rather extreme degree, and between that and the mixed-age classrooms the result is that Montessori kids wind up academically way behind their peers when they're enrolled in more traditional programs. Montessori wrote extensively about "human tendencies," and thought that her program would best be applied to children with communications and/or learning issues. The program leads to classrooms that are more chaotic, and a bit less flexible, then you might guess. [/quote]
