[quote=Anonymous]I personally think the Montessori model more closely reflects how we live as adults, and students feel more respected by it. The traditional model is extremely rigid and if a student appreciates the autonomy the Montessori classroom provides, they will struggle with the lack of control and it could lead to not loving school as much. Academically, they will still be able to do well if they had been doing well previously. Now if a student has always struggled with the autonomy in the Montessori classroom, the structure of the traditional classroom could be what they need. So really, it all depends on the child. I don't think there are many cases in which the transition would hurt a child academically though, I would just be aware of mental health.[/quote]
