[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is as far away from the Montessori model as you can imagine. My kids went to Montessori through K. There were 27 kids in the class but there were 4 adults running the class. One primary Montessori teacher and 3 Montessori aides - all with degrees and Montessori training. The materials and work were all designed to be self-paced.

MCPS still has the teacher led model and has gone backwards in terms of differentiation. Its a one size fits all curriculum. There are no aides. Its really awful. You either have a very strict, boring and joyless environment that keeps all the kids in their seats or you have an absolute zoo. Its really pathetic. [/quote]

Agree 100%

Can't believe we moved here for the schools![/quote]

I've consulted and have many friends and colleagues who have consulted for years.  While MCPS isn't perfect, if you experienced how other school systems function, you'd be kissing MCPS' central office right now.
