[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why the split? Why did Montessori need to even fight it?[/quote] I think that article explains the split in a pretty even-handed way, but an oversimplification is that AMI believes that Montessori programs should be implemented as faithfully as possible to Maria Montessori's original lesson plans, and AMS believes that her lesson plans, while very good and a departure point, are in some cases inconsistent with modern educational research, and in those cases, modern research should prevail. I see merits to both positions. As for why her son was willing to sue over it, I don't know. Charitably, he sincerely believed the AMS standards were harmful. Cynically, like all children of famous people, he probably wanted to maintain tight control over his mother's ideas, both for personal and monetary reasons.[/quote]
