[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people going to still not care about test scores when their kids bomb the 7th grade PARCC and can't get into application schools?[/quote] This was my concern, too. I like Montessori, and I agree that what's most important is developing a happy, independent child (not test scores), BUT most kids, at some point, have to work within the confines of traditional schooling, which requires standardized tests. Even if a child can go through Montessori to 12th grade, wouldn't it impact their ability to pursue college (assuming that they wouldn't have knowledge required to do well on the SAT, on APs, etc.)? Of course, not all kids need to go to college, but it felt--to me--that doing Montessori would be unnecessarily limiting their ability to make those choices later.[/quote]
