[quote=Anonymous]The Montessori's I've seen are among the best run preschools out there.  If you mean social weirdness by encouraging all kids to be themselves instead of fitting an identical mold, I guess you're correct, but that is about it.  I see many more cases of social issues with daycare centers than Montessori schools.  And many Montessori schools encourage interaction all day long with children working together on work, observing others doing different work, and playing together in a peaceful way.  They do have a little less playtime during the morning hours, but the children get enough playtime if your child is there all day.  I was way more worried about social issues for children when I walked into a traditional kindergarten and saw that they had dividers up between children so they wouldn't copy each other's work as if this is something to worry about at such an early age.  I like the exchange of ideas that Montessori schools provide while still encouraging children to respect differences.[/quote]
