[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well when you inquire how things work with 24 kids and one certified teacher some schools will claim that the third year kids are teachers too. It’s just not true at all. Actually in my experience they were terrible examples for the younger kids. I was very pro Montessori until my kid actually went to one. [/quote] Was there only one adult with 24 kids or one "certified" teacher? As I mentioned, my children's Montessori has a similar number of children, with 4 teachers. One is an assistant teacher, not yet certified. Two have certain kinds of training, but they teach primarily those works that involve a specific foreign language and religious texts. Only one is a true full-fledged Montessori certified experienced teacher with a bachelor's and master's. I realize our school is unusual. But do other Montessoris really have one adult alone all day with 24 preprimary kids? [/quote]
