[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you 22:48 and 23:28.  I think you've done a good job of describing the strengths of a Montessori program.  It's not what I want for my child.  [b]Setting the table, organizing shoes, and making up extra math problems aren't the kind of creativity I look for, but for many parents it may be.  [/b]You clearly both feel passionate about Montessori, and I'm sure that you, 23:28 are a wonderful teacher.  [/quote]

Perhaps you did not mean it this way, but this is fairly rude and condescending, and it is short-sighted. Montessori at the elementary level especially is exciting, challenging, and fun cademically--beyond that, the children have enriching and unusual field trips; they put on plays and musicals; organize holiday parties in which they learn wonderful, international songs; make classroom decorations and art; learn to play instruments; tend a garden; care for animals; and so much more. They are encouraged to find creative solutions to problems in all aspects of life. Many people don't understand Montessori at all.[/quote]
