[quote=Anonymous]Half of the newly hired teachers leaving is HUGE and significant in Logan's  Montessori like school.  In a true Montessori AMI certified school and under their model of best practices, the children will have a consistent teacher (called a Guide in Montessori lingo) year after year who know the specific details of how and where the child is in their psycho-social and intellectual development.  The Guide looks at the room of children and knows where they are and what work they should be working on as they advance.  A new Guide (teacher) is a major setback as they have a tabula rasa scenario not knowing anything of where the children are in their development.  When we pulled our child from Montessori/Watkins the turnover of Guides was a problem and the lack of leadership was the problem. The same leaders are in place at Logan a parent mentioned. We loved the Montessori model but this lack of monitoring the children, bullying unchecked and general rudeness from the lead teacher created a cold sterile environment.  Our child transitioned well into the nw school last fall and is happy and loves to learn; qualities not found at Montessori /Watkins Logan (according to other posters)from our experience. Hope this helps, we wanted our child to be happy and love school and not fear being treated poorly and think this is acceptable behavior.[/quote]
