[quote=Anonymous]It is very interesting to me that many people think little children should be free to be creative all day, but when they get older they send them to quite rigid elementary schools where they are taught to follow all the directions from the teacher and do worksheets with only one correct answer. Montessori is a lot about exploration and many have also added creative play components as well especially into their afternoon programs. There is a happy medium in between for both preschool and elementary school where our children can get a solid foundation of learning new skills and information but then also be given time for exploration and imagination. A lot of creativeness is new ideas built upon current knowlege and having courage and perseverance to work through these new ideas.[/quote]
