[quote=Anonymous]I also have 2 kids with very different personalities both in Montessori, and both have thrived academically and socially. I've also watched many of their classmates grown up with a wide variety of personalities, learning disabilities, etc and seen many of these kids thrive too. So I think it can work for lots of kids. However, while a perfect implementation of the Montessori method can work for almost any child, I believe, no school, classroom, or teacher is going to be perfect. Everyone implements slightly differently, due to philosophical differences (AMI vs. AMS, etc), operating differences (private vs. public school), as well as differences in administrators' and teachers' training, skill, and raw talent. So you need to visit each specific school you are considering and observe the classroom, talk to the kids, the teachers, the administrators, and see how you feel it would work for your kid. The Montessori label is no guarantee of anything, good or bad.[/quote]
