[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We turned down our spot at lamb because I just didn't get it. [/quote]

[b]For the thousandth time[/b], LAMB is NOT "real" Montessori.  It is sort of a hybrid.  They are not certified by AMI or AMS, they use teachers trained by both schools of thought and incorporate technology and other things that are not a part of the Montessori curriculum.  Capitol Hill Montessori is AMI certified, and Lee plans to be AMI certified and Langdon are AMI.  On the private side you have Aidan and Christian Family Montessori.  That said, it is challenging to do the real Montessori thing AND be public, but make sure you are looking at the real thing before you form an opinion about Montessori.[/quote]

For the thousandth time, huh????

What's your agenda...Shining Stars, Capitol Hill, Lee booster?  Jealous much?

LAMB is not dogmatic, is not living in the past century, and is 100% aligned to the Montessori vision and philosophy.  For peet's sake, Maria Montessori was a scientist, and she was brilliant.  Do you think she would be stuck in old ways of thinking and old ways of being?  The Buddha said, look at the moon, not at the hand pointing to it.  In the same way, Montessori said follow the child and you will know what you need to do.  Look at LAMB's kids and the way they are happy, peaceful, well-rounded, and productive.  Then say it is not a "real" Montessori school.  AMI and AMS have financial reasons for making accreditation difficult. How can these other public schools justify using public dollars to earn that accreditation? LAMB's staff is full of qualified and experienced Montessorians from all over the world.

PP has an agenda to discredit LAMB if they have commented here for the thousandth time on this topic.
