[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, it probably outs me to even admit this; but I don't give a toss. My child's upper grade Montessori class had more than half of the kids in it coming from non-Montessori backgrounds. And they all had a fantastic year. Sure, there was a learning curve, but it wasn't insane. Montessori is not that complicated. And no, these were not all high ses, "privileged" kids. [/quote] "upper grade" what are you talking about? An upper elementary class? Or a lower elementary class? It's great that they had a good year, but if more than half of the kids started this year with no Montessori background that's not a real Montessori classroom. It can't be. It doesn't mean it didn't work. But it's not a full Montessori experience, because the kids don't have the background necessary. At best it was some type of hybrid. Did the teacher incorporate some type of incentives for the kids who had not yet developed internal motivation?[/quote]
