[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori works until Grade 1. Dr. Montessori designed the approach for the early age. The rest is all business ...What bothers me is that even if a child is prepared to work at an abstract level, he still has to play with the materials[/quote] I am an expereinced Montessori teacher. 1) I do think Montessori is best through grade 1. However, many elementary children DO thrive in Montessori education. It just may not be for everyone. Of course, it is also a business. Every private school out there is, as well. 2) "WORK" with the materials is the correct terminology. 3) Actually, Montessori starts with the concrete, and then goes immediately to the abstract when the child is ready. This is true in both the primary and elementary level. What kind of children do well in Montessori elementary. My dc has been in a Montessori primary program and I am deciding whether to stay for elementary. He's done very well so far.[/quote]
