[quote=Anonymous]I've had two very different kids thrive in Montessori. Kid 1 is a total rules follower, interested in doing things the "right" way, kind of clumsy, and usually spends recess reading or talking to friends anyway. Kid 2 needs significant time outdoors, running and playing, every day. If kids were puppies, Kid 2 would be one of those breeds that needs to run 5 miles a day just to behave the rest of the time. Not at all interested in rules, and probably a bit immature. Even though the kids are different, Montessori worked for both. Kid 1 learned independence and really improved their "body awareness" in the classroom. Kid 2 learned that sometimes you just have to settle down and do the work, but the commitment to having kids outdoors helped a lot with Kid 2's need for physical outlets. [/quote]
