[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is also a method that was not designed for children in upper grades. Some schools in the US have extended their programs for younger children to the middle school and high school levels - with varying levels of success. [/quote] Maria Montessori taught children through age 12 so the method is fine for upper grades. For ages 13-18 she thought kids should just work on a farm (running it as a business, etc., not just farmwork), that with all their changes and growth and emotional craziness during those year, why bother with school? Then when they settle down at age 18 again, biologically, they can get back to learning in the classroom. Personally I'm about ready to send my 13 yr old to a farm! :D [/quote]
