[quote=Anonymous]1. Montessori was created by one of the first female Italian doctors for children with special needs so they could be functional later in life. 2. Your director is either very uninformed, and perhaps not following the true Montessori method (Montessori is not a protected name), or there was a miscommunication. 3. My ADHD/ASD son was taken in hand by our (late, most excellent) Montessori school director, and he was set on a path to success in terms of critical thinking rigor and work ethic. There was no "letting go". She personally spent a lot of time with him, and never gave up. This is the approach we have always had with our son, and now he's thriving in college. He's had to work 10 times as hard as a neurotypical kid to succeed, and that started in Montessori. 4. THE METHOD IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE TEACHER. You will find intelligent and observant teachers in all methods, Reggio, play-based, Montessori, whatever. The difficulty is identifying them! [/quote]
