[quote=Anonymous]My experience at a private Montessori school is that social graces, kindness, politeness, and conflict resolution are very much integrated into the teaching. Montessori works hard to develop the whole child, including practical life skills. There is a lot of emphasis on children learning how to engage helpfully with each other, and as the previous poster noted a lot of built in mentoring and nurturing of the younger kids by the older ones. It's really lovely to witness, and I'd think a better bet for the awkward types (I was one) than a traditional school (I went to one, and was also teased). I don't know anything about Lee specifically, but certain aspects of this are built into Montessori at its core.[/quote]
