[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in her fifth (and last) year of Montessori.  Even though it has the reputation of being progressive I actually find it very strict in some ways. I've always thought it was a tough place for active boys.  The requirement to focus on one activity seems really onerous at age three.  I've seen a lot of boys in her class act out because it's not the right environment for them.  Definitely don't move him up to the 3 +year old class.  My very mature DD had a horrible first year in that classroom.  It's big and there are a lot of social issues that come with being around kids who are three years older that a 3 year old just can't navigate.  Montessori has a lot of pluses but I definitely see its downsides. [/quote]

It is truly hard for active boys. We took our son out of Montessori at 4 because although he was academically advanced, he was not as well behaved and did not fit into the rigid structure that Montessori espouses with regards to following routines and focusing on the task at hand. [/quote]
