[quote=Anonymous] Because it's often true - all other things being equal (teacher quality, student motivation, blah blah blah). All of the K class in our Montessori school were emerging readers (could read books with one or more sentences on each page) and could count up to a thousand with the thousand chain (which gives a concrete introduction to cubing numbers). They knew how to attend to their own work yet loved to jump in and help a younger student in need of guidance. Montessori for my children provided just the right balance of free play, calm group socialization, with rigorous yet effortless learning. My children's creativity was not stifled, they did not become little robots, but they did acquire an excellent grounding for the "real" school. That being said, the most important thing is that THE METHOD IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE TEACHER. [/quote]
