[quote=Anonymous]Montessori wasn’t a good fit for my ADHD inattentive kid with MERLD (no autism diagnosis). The problem is that in Montessori kids are allowed to choose what they do - and when something is hard for you, you do’t choose it. Language acquisition is hard for my kid and he needs more explicit teaching than the typical kid. While the Montessori materials for language were probably better than public school, he simply never chose it, even when the language teacher narrowed his spectrum of choices to choosing among language-based activities. OTOH, my DS is pretty bright and very interested in math and numbers and spent a lot of time on those activities and ended up being ahead of grade level when he entered 1st grade in public school. So, it wasn’t a total loss. [/quote]
