[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My school used Montessori for math and sciences only and it was the perfect combo for my personality. DD is 2 and will start Montessori next week. I'm so excited!

We'll see how she'll do and go from there. [b]Montessori is not for everyone[/b]. [/quote]

How so? [/quote]

If the kid needs close interaction with an adult, if they need directions for every single step for example M is not for them. M fosters indepence. Kids who crave leadership don't do well in M. [/quote]

hah, secretly bashing kids who don't go to Montessori. I am surprised you didn't add "If your kid is below average intelligence" to your list. GTFO.[/quote]

Not really, not everybody is a leader and that's fine. We need everybody to work their full potential. If your child prefers to have the one on one interaction with a teacher (and that's fine!) they will never thrive in a class where the ratio is 8:1 - what's true in a M class.

My brother never did well in M and my mom sent him to another school. He's still better than me in Math. He thrived in the environment with lots of structure and prediction of the routine while I thrived in the "chaos" of M class.

I was not at all trying to bash anybody, please forgive me if this is the impression I caused. [/quote]
