[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori is not known for being SN friendly. To do well, kids have to be internally motivated to work, which most kids are, but not all. My DD has GAD and did very well with Montessori because she was able to work quietly by herself when she needed more peace and quiet. She also loved working in groups just not all the time. ADHD kids might struggle to stay focused but also might thrive on being able to follow their own passion and internal clocks. It’s like anything else, great for some, OK for many, bad for some. [/quote] For Montessori to work with certain SN kids, there needs to be a lot of parent-teacher communication. The school needs to be willing to engage the parents more so than they would otherwise. "letting go" if a kid is struggling is just straight up cruel and doesn't help the kid. Montessori educators could take a page from their own book and become motivated to take on "'lessons" in special education[/quote]
