[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Montessori is not a do what you want to do classroom.[/b] You are more likely to find that in play based school without trained teachers. If your child is happy I think you should stay there if you are moving in a year. But that said children from Montessori schools transition very well to independent schools in K or First Grade. If you want more of a challenge I would suggest Montessori for at least 2 years. He will learn to work independently and hopefully develop an intrinisc desire to learn that is the goal in a Montessori classroom.[/quote] Agreed. I find Montessori to be highly structured - it's the choice within the structure that's the hallmark of a good Montessori school. Also, Montessori schools (again, good, real ones) focus on self-control, manners, and responsibility in a way that prepares children for anything. Transitions can obviously be inherently difficult, but Montessori is a great foundation for other environments.[/quote]
