[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori students gain valuable skills learning how to be independent and take care of themselves at an early age. The fine motor skills that are practiced in Montessori help the students with handwriting (they learn cursive starting in PK3). [/quote]

So they can write "I am failing math" in cursive?[/quote]

Anyone who thinks that knows nothing about how the Montessori math curriculum works. It’s incredible and Montessori kids end up several grade levels ahead of their traditional school peers with an excellent foundation in math.[/quote]

Except at Lee where most 3rd-5th graders are working below grade level in math.[/quote]

That certainly depends on how you measure it. If you go into the classroom and see those kids working on long division, algebra and how to determine area for their entire classroom you won’t think they are behind. If you look at the test scores for a school that is anti testing, sure you can conclude that. The depth of knowledge there can not be measured by PARRC.[/quote]

Oh please.  "Depth of knowledge" but still scoring a ONE on the PARCC?  Come on.  Even allowing for lack of computer skills and unfamiliarity with the style of math, people with even a little bit of knowledge should be able to get a 2.[/quote]
