[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twin Dad. I do apologize for questioning you, but I read your remarks as if a typical playbased program produces kids who are unfocused and un-controlling since you didn't seem to single out Twin B as being any different than the other children. As you probably know, that is a rumor that gets circulated among Montessori parents and teachers quite frequently. [/quote]

Not a problem, I've got a pretty think skin, especially when on the Internet.  In any event, while I respect that you have more experience, I was trying to provide my admittedly limited experience in more detail than most others with experience with both types of schools seem to provide.  I was trying to point out that I found that for my children, the more individualized, less group-organized activity helped Twin B become more focused and less rowdy.  I do recognize that good play-based daycares with good teachers can have the same effect, but I was also trying to counter the very negative overall feel of this thread.  So many people are just giving short, negative responses directing OP against Montessori and enhancing the impression of it being cult-like, stifling and almost alien.
