[b]I noticed that a lot of public school teachers seem biased against Montessori kids. I remember when my daughter was 8 years old and in Montessori -- some "know it all" public school teacher parent friend mentioned she thought Montessori was great for just slow learners ...well -- my DD is at an Ivy now -- and the teacher is still infecting p.s. kids minds.[/b]

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher I would just like to add my own input.  I have had many students transfer from Montessori schools to my public school classroom and truly struggle.  In Montessori education students are not taught deadlines or accountability and are often shocked when they have to hand in reports or essays on time.  Parents too are shocked when they see that their Montessori educated child is not always the star pupil of the class.  I have also found that although these children enjoy reading and love to write and write and write, if one actually reads their work it is riddled with grammatical errors.  This has just been my observation over my years of teaching.  Hope that helps some people.[/quote]

So your daughter went to a montessori that serviced students from K-12?  Please clarify by filling in the gaps.  [/quote]
