[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In recent Facebook posts they have included pictures of children coloring culturally relevant things. I think the question to ask is how faithful they are in the younger ages to Montessori materials. From what I know about Montessori, but from what I understand there would likely be some paper and crayons and the kids could choose to draw what they want, but not coloring papers, even if flags, etc, etc, [/quote] From my experience they are not particularly faithful to Montessori materials in any of the grades. For example, they do a 100 book challenge from the American Reading Company that is very clearly NOT in line with a Montessori approach. It actually involves some level of competition amongst the kids which is really the opposite of what Montessori is all about.[/quote]
