[quote=Anonymous]Not a LAMB parent, but I really like the way Montessori teaches math. I think it gives most kids a better foundational understanding of the WHYs of math, not just memorizing how and what. That said, it is a big leap of faith to look at those math scores and trust that your child is learning and progressing as they should be. If Montessori is incompatible with PARCC and LAMB prioritizes the integrity of their learning methodology, then I'd want some other Montessori compatible assessment tool to track progress. Of course they SHOULD be doing that in the classroom, but at many weaker Montessori schools they do not do that well enough and kids can fall many grade levels behind in an area before it's noticed. That said, DCB's math scores are even lower (31% overall) and they're not Montessori, so perhaps some charters just are weak in some areas but have "other factors" that still make them appealing enough that parents ignore it, like a PP said.
