[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a new teacher to the Montessori setting I have a big concern about how much time they don't spend outside. The children in my class are far too anxious and on edge to spend so much time inside and "focused". I am not sure I want to get Montessori certified and this is fact is something that I am considering when making that decision. It is also something anyone who is considering putting their child in a Montessori school should also consider.[/quote] Is the school AMI or AMS accredited? There are many hybrids out there that claim to stay true to the practice. So I'd be careful in choosing where to work or where to enroll my child. True montessoris really only do a half-day of academics for pre-K. But b/c of the need for daycare, many have extended hours and go year-round. Ours did not follow that pattern; it was a "true" montessori in that sense. Furthermore, there was outdoor time everyday - sometimes even when the weather wasn't that tolerable. Maria M. was indeed a nature fan, as one PP pointed out. Learning from nature was just as important as training a mind to handle numbers. If you're not happy, PP, start your research now. I'm thinking that your director isn't all that, right? [/quote]
