[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think that play-based programs are "bad" for children? Or is there more than one way to skin a cat? I as because it seems like many pro-Montessori people act as if the Montessori way is THE way to educate children and that there methods are all-around superior to others. This cultish way of thinking freaks me out a little..[/quote]

OP here- "Bad" is a strong word. I mean, of course I think it's THE way, my bank account is evidence enough here. ;) I have a pretty long winded response to this, but it involves the idea (and luxury) of doing Montessori in the long run instead of leaving for traditional school.[/quote]

OP, I take your answer as implying that you think Montessori is beneficial not only at the Primary stage but also at the Lower El (and also Upper El) stages? What do you think about this? We are at Aidan and our kids are loving the experience in Primary. We would like to stay there through Lower and Upper El, but frankly just do not know much at all about Montessori beyond Primary/Montessori for older kids. What do you think?[/quote]
