[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder why parents say Montessori isn't for their child. Do you have experience with the philosophy to test its effectiveness? I have no dog in the fight, just curious.[/quote] My child is very strong willed and independant. Montessori allows her to just play to the things she likes to do, but doesn't explore any of her weaknesses or aspects of her personality that she needs to work on. In the Montessori setting, she tends to take "to much" of a lead and kids just follow what she wants to do. In a more structured play-based school setting, teachers can work with her to access those parts of her personality that need work. It's what worked for us, but I do think that for most kids, Montessori is a great learning model and a great program (which is why LAMB and other programs have such long, long waitlists)[/quote]
