[quote=Anonymous]I will say that the practical life stuff was the only part of her year in Montessori that my daughter enjoyed. Kids that age don't find things like folding and polishing and pouring to be drudgery. For DD, at least, it was a way to get to be grown up and help around the house, and she was really excited about it. The work she did on the fastener tree (I don't know the name for it as I was not into the culty branding - the thing with zippers and buttons and snaps and such) was very helpful when she was 3 on dressing herself and navigating those tools. But the rest of it? Yeah. Joyless. Rulesy. Excessively formal. We left after a year for a play-based school and couldn't be happier that we did.[/quote]
