[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read up on Montessori, and I really wanted to send our kids to Montessori.  However, my dh lost his job and couldn't find another one, so we just could not afford it.  Comments about Montessori education versus our play-based preschool really grate on me because it is looking down on people who did the best for their kids with what they had. We don't all have tens of thousand of dollars for preschool.  I needed that money for food and shelter.  [/quote]

I'm really sorry about your situation. I'm sure that's really hard. That said, the people talking about how great Montessori is (vs. any other kind of education or not vs. anything at all) are unrelated to your family's financial issues. My child goes to a Montessori charter in DC that is free and it's been a really wonderful experience for us. I think she's getting a lot more out of this school than her previous playbased program and I'm really glad that we got a spot. When I say that my child is getting a better education than she was before, that in no way indicates that you are not doing the best for your child. Please stop projecting your issues.[/quote]
