[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this true for PK at CHML too? [/quote]

No, PK is great! It’s the only part of the school that’s actually Montessori accredited.[/quote]

Yes, because it is MONTESSORI!!!! It is designed for ECE. The idea that children and preteens should get to pick what and how they learn is stupidity. [/quote]

It is so poorly implemented at CHML too. The students have no idea how a "normal" classroom should look and function. They don't have the attention spans to sit through any kind of direct instruction, they think they can do whatever they want, and therefore, struggle when they get to high school and are expected to function in a regular classroom setting. The 4th-5th grade classrooms are full of behavior problems and this is known as many parents opt to pull their kids out after 3rd grade. Montessori can work but only highly motivated and independent students can succeed and CHML is full of kids who were kicked out of their DCPS school/charters/etc. It just does not work. [/quote]

I don’t believe either of you truly are Momtessorians and would be able to speak to the validity of your responses. Montessori was NOT designed for ECE. It is a philosophy that can be applied at any plane of development. Montessori began working on her design of the Secondary space, but she unfortunately passed away before it was completed.

CHML does not actually do Montessori beyond the primary grade band. Any issues that exist in 1st grade and beyond  can not be blamed on Montessori because they aren’t even following what they would need to do to be accredited. [/quote]

Yes! Much love for The Montessori pedagogy. I refrained myself from responding because.. when someone invokes words such as “stupidity” is not worth the trouble. It is so deeply unfortunate how many people judge a pedagogy without doing the slightest research or a deep dive and choose to look at the surface level indicators to judge. [/quote]
