[quote=Anonymous]My son plays very well independently, but Montessori wasn't a great fit for him. It wasn't so much that it was a bad fit, but that a play-based curriculum is a better fit. He just does better in a classroom that's a bit more active. Also, I think part of the issue was that Montessori wasn't a good fit for DH and I. I tried, but I never really understood the Montessori method; it's just not intuitive to me like play-based or Reggio. Also, the Montessori school DS attended didn't do much to include parents, either through volunteer activities, weekly newsletters, etc., and DS was one of those kids who wouldn't talk about school at home, so I felt completely disconnected from his school experience. That said, I agree with the teacher above that said that each Montessori school is different, and it's about finding the right school, not necessarily the right curriculum.[/quote]
