[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori produces kids who have a hard time adapting to a regular classroom and are frequently considered to be a pain in the ass by their teachers. [/quote] I'm not a parent yet, but was a Montessori student ages 5-12. I have to say that the above is true, but not necessarily in a bad way. Transitioning to a mainstream middle school sucked for me because I was used to working at my own pace, asking questions and having the freedom to seek out the answers. I think these are wonderful qualities that should be nurtured more in all children. I'm pretty sure my teachers thought I was a PITA, but I also believe that it's a teacher's job to recognize and encourage inquisitive learners (I myself am a teacher now).[/quote]
