[quote=Anonymous]I have not had the experience of our Montessori being lax on academics. While there is some choice in what the kids can do, they have a checklist of things that they need to get through (at least at the elementary level). He also has a ton of homework (way more than public school). My older kid went to public and has SN. I don't know if Montessori would have been good for him because of attention challenges, but I think some aspects would absolutely have been good. The teachers are certainly much more focused on the kids and involved than any public school setting we've been in. I agree with the PP who posted about large classes. Our school does not have a particularly large class, but there are Montessori programs that do, and they actually seem to encourage this model as a positive thing. I think that would have been very hard for my older kid. [/quote]
