[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fundamentally, Lee is not focused on traditional academics. Their test results speak for themselves. They do not welcome diverse points of view. Their Board meetings do not allow for robust dialogue and they have refused to respond in public to questions. A lot of parents are leaving or are considering it. During their last Board meeting they highlighted their SEL work when low reading/ELA scores were mentioned. If you are a parent who would like a school that focuses on reading, math, and science Lee is not the best school for your family. Lee appears to mean well, but keep in mind their executive director is not a professional educator. They have had issues dealing with parents who have a more robust epistemic understanding of pedagogy and academic content. [/quote] Montessori is inherently and intentionally not traditional education.[/quote] Lee imbeds constructs that are beyond the efficacy demonstrated through the empirical based Montessori framework. Lee has struggled with academics where other Montessori based constructs have succeeded in the domains of math and reading. Also, the lack of a willingness for an open and honest dialogue is a systematic issue with Lee, not the Montessori framework.[/quote] I would love to see a head-to-head comparison of Langdon Montessori vs Lee Montessori. I know that overall, Langdon's students score higher than Lee's, even though Langdon has more at-risk, homeless, and ESL students.[/quote]
