[quote=Anonymous]I am a big proponent of Montessori, all three of my kids did the 3-6 program. A true Montessori school is definitely self-guided and, as with all schools, highly dependent on instructors as far as one on one instruction. My sons thrived in Montessori and entered traditional school well about their peers academically in all areas except their handwriting which was/is abysmal. It was probably a disservice to our daughter (the middle child) to not enroll her in traditional school in kindergarten because she needs more structure and validation with everything she is doing. I am interested about the PPs comment about reading though - my 3 (even the struggling daughter) read 3 levels above grade level at least according to the most recent MAP scores. From other parents who completed our school that generally seems to be the case - I thought that was a strength of Montessori since they teach everything phonetically? I could be completely wrong...
