[quote=Anonymous] Your use of disparaging terms makes it plain you are looking for a fight rather than an intelligent discussion on the subject. Shame on you, OP. Both of my children are highly creative and imaginative, and thrived in their traditional Montessori preschool. None of the students there were/are silent robots. Montessori does not stifle anything, it channels. Maria Montessori was a scientist, and as a scientist myself, I appreciate the way critical thinking is fostered in her curriculum. Children are free to explore solutions and test them with the Montessori materials. We need people who think rationally in all walks of life, and Montessori creates the right environment for that. Reason and method are not the opposites of creativity. Indeed, they go together. No scientist could discover any wonder of nature if he or she hadn't imagined it first. [/quote]
