[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who would have thought a pedagogy designed for ECE that was stretched (poorly) to upper ES and wouldn't work in MS or HS. Seriously, this is a SHOCKING development. Do to an ES open house and ask this. The [insert dumb name of tour guide here] will try and shame you and subtly suggest that if you have to ask you shouldn't attend.[/quote] Exactly correct. Montessori is great until maybe 2nd grade. [/quote] +1. It’s terrible for upper elementary and disaster for middle and high. It’s rare the 100% internally driven child. Kids need structure, direction, equal time in all subjects, no matter strengths or weaknesses [b]but especially the weakness[/b]. [/quote] Especially the bolded. If you think even a kid who is "100% internally driven" (whatever the hell that means) can or should be deciding what they want to do and study and how then you are a bad parent. [/quote]
