[quote=Anonymous]I strongly disagree with PP who said it is for females who don't mind following lots of rules. On the contrary, traditional schooling is designed by and for females and often requires skills that females tend to develop faster than males (fine motor skills, handwriting, longer attention spans). For more on this, read the book "The Trouble with Boys." To answer your question, both of my sons THRIVE in montessori. They are both very curious and active, and would have a hard time sitting in a traditional classroom for group lessons that last more than 5-10 minutes. In montessori they can pick their own work and go at their own pace, and as a result they really love it. There is no penalty for doing work more quickly or more slowly than others - no having to wait for others to catch up or worry about slowing others down. [/quote]
