[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught kindergarten in a Montessori school. I lasted one year. That teaching style goes against everything I know and love about early childhood education. I’ve never taught in a more depressing atmosphere. Creative/imaginative play is actively discouraged. “Toys” are only played with in one way. There is way too much push on independence and individuality. It really hurts healthy socialization and group play. There is literally zero evidence to suggest Montessori schools are better. Maybe your child would do better in a play-based program. [/quote] As I said, for the right type of child, it’s brilliant. But it’s certainly not for every child![/quote]
