[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a private Montessori school from pre-K through 6th grade. Then a traditional public middle school and high school, along with my other Montessori peers.

Here are my observations:

I am and continue to be very good a writing and other creative pursuits.

I am very good a team building, communicating and leadership.

I am good at critical thinking and problem solving.

I am terrible at math.

I crumple at the idea of a pop quiz or trivia, or anything that requires quick thinking and route memory skills.

I have issues with structure and respecting authority. I really want to be left alone and trusted to get my work done on time without being hassled about it.

If I loose my enthusiasm for something, it's never going to get done.

I do think these are foundational traits that I learned in my Montessori elementary school. All this aside, I went to college, have a good job, married with kids, I own a home and a car, and I am a solid tax-paying citizen of the United States.

The fact that you are "terrible" at math doesn't tally with my Montessori experience which is that it provides an excellent, incomparable foundation in math.[/quote]

I'm like this and I never went to Montessori.[/quote]

I’m exactly like this as well and I went to terrible public schools my entire K-12 career.[/quote]
