[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s Montessori. They’ve got random rules that are enforced for the sake of fidelity to the methodology. If the lead teacher (guide) is actually Montessori certified, check with them to see if there’s a Montessori reason for those rules.[/quote]

+1. It is likely a Montessori thing.[/quote]

Op here. I am going to ask today at the teacher in-service day but it seems weird to fixate on this one posture being the only way. It's distracting and can bring down their mood if someone is constantly picking at them. I whisper for them to stop talking or to sit down but I don't correct their posture if they aren't invading anyone's space. Some of the young 3s really can't sit that way. They cross one leg over a straight leg and they are still correcting that. I also wonder if it's cultural as the other assistant is Indian and the lead is Turkish. I never remember my training saying anything about this.

Yeah I mean just imagine being in a meeting and someone is constantly sniping at you to sit exactly one way. It would be maddening. [/quote]
