[quote=Anonymous][quote]And the spelling, grammar, sentence structure and paper organization-I just can't believe how awful it is.[/quote] This is the problem with Montessori Kindergarten too. My DC was shocked in 1st grade when they correct spelling and had spelling tests. I wish they would have introduced the concept of spelling at least a little bit in K but they will not teach or correct spelling in Montessori as a matter of principal. They also completely miss the mark on avoiding memorization activities. I'm not advocating for drill and kill but early readers should be taught sight words and some memorization rather than sole phonic sounding out of words.[/quote]
