[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't base your opinion of Montessori on this one school.  Our school is not like what you described.  The Montessori method is amazing.[/quote]

+1 We toured 5 different Montessori schools and they were totally different form each other. We picked the fun one![/quote]

Me too.  Schools are really different.  I loved my son's preschool.  Fun teachers, parents in the class all the time…required to be actually.  Tons of other activities too.  And my son learned so much…teachers really took a special interest in him and had him doing all kinds of advanced work on his own.  They also worked really hard with kids who were struggling….

I think you just have to look at schools as schools and see which ones you like.  In terms of Montessori I liked that the teachers had a common approach to teaching, gave them a seriousness and professionalism about what they were doing.  Also liked the individualized attention kids got…and liked the emphasis on manipulatives.  I think the approach to math is really great.  Teach it first with stuff and then transfer it later to abstract numbers on a page.[/quote]
