[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except you have the same teachers for three years and we’re in the middle of an unprecedented teacher shortage. So if you don’t have a very talented one, you’re stuck with the situation for three entire years. Then what? I know way too many kids that are years ahead in one subject, and year(s) behind in another. How it is supposed to work on paper is very different than how I’ve personally seen in work in practice, particularly in a public school setting.[/quote]

This is true at non-Montessori schools as well. There are unfortunately not many great teachers, and teachers tend to have a strength in one area over another.[/quote]

Yes but then you get a new teacher next year. I’m not saying Montessori is bad, I think it can be wonder for the right child in the right school. There’s just a lot of risk involved, particularly when you make the choice to do Montessori in pre-K before you know what kind of student your child will be. And the three year cycle makes that risk so much higher because if that guide’s weakness is the same as your child’s weakness, you are stuck in that environment for years.[/quote]
