I have no direct experience with montessori instruction, but I definitely prefer the calm feeling of the clsssrooms over the crazy overstimulation and disorder I have seen in many regular preschools. Kids do not need to be constantly having their senses assaulted.   [/quote]

Understandable to a point.  When you have students who have very poor language skills you need a little noise.[/quote]

It is generally not recommended for speech delayed kids.  And, they don't want kids with delays.  (well, one we found was supportive but several we looked at were not).  I like calm and structured but there needs to be a balance.[/quote]

Give me a break!  My DS has speech issues and his Montessori school and teachers bend over backwards to work with his speech therapist to help with his issues, and go to IEP meetings to help devise a plan for him.  The Montessori kids I know are very articulate and well spoken.[/quote]
