[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering leaving Montessori after finishing the primary cycle with DD, when we thought we'd keep her there through elementary.

[b]I'm concerned she is easily distracted and doesn't do well with so many kids working on different things in the classroom at one time.[/b]  She's already expressed this to us quite clearly (she's entering her 3rd year).

Montessori is great.  A good school and teacher won't let your child "fixate" on one topic.  They guide them.  The child always feels that he or she is choosing the work, but they are doing so from a very limited set of choices.  At my DDs school they will sometimes give children a list of 3 items they can choose from in order to direct those who need at extra push to focus on the right topics.  So the child still feels in control, and can go at his or her pace, but it's not as if they get to do whatever they want![/quote]

Yes, true for mine too.   I was told by an educational psychologist that even kids with borderline ADHD can languish academically in Montessori.  [/quote]
