[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of misconceptions about Montessori. ie "It's too structured" or "It's not structured at all". It's an approach that integrates so many components, that it's hard to sum it up in a few short sentences. But it fosters independence, self-direction, a love of learning. It nurtures the development of the whole child--social, emotional, intellectual. It works well for both children with learning disabilities and for gifted students because of the individualization of instruction. There is space for children to follow their interests and passions and go in depth with their work because of the freedom of choice and lack of time constraints (ie--now we're done with math and everyone has to do reading now). I would highly recommend visiting a couple of Montessori schools and hearing about the approach from them so you can be informed by people who have been trained and know all the nuances of it.[/quote]
