[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two kids kn two different montessori schools and ai thimk this is really tough.  During the work cycle, they are expected to work.  My extrovert was bouncing around looking at others’ work and asking them about it and it was viewed as disruptive—quiet cooperative work is often encouraged but not the social butterfly.  Also, official Montessori teaching discourages pretend play.  So if they take the little cylinders and pretend they are a little family, they will be told they are misusing the materials.  [/quote]

Exactly why I can’t stand Montessori for preschool and K.  Get the cork out and let kids be kids.  No one cares about your antiquated materials, pink towers or using them perfectly each time.  [/quote]

And exactly why we Montessori families self-select. My kids like the opportunity to concentrate, work independently or in small groups, using simple physical manipulatives and not so much jumping around shouting the lyrics from Disney movies and flitting from one activity to another every ten seconds with glitter and costumes all over the place.[/quote]

Wow, you sound insufferable[/quote]
