In Montessori education students are not taught deadlines or accountability and are often shocked when they have to hand in reports or essays on time. Parents too are shocked when they see that their Montessori educated child is not always the star pupil of the class. I have also found that although these children enjoy reading and love to write and write and write, if one actually reads their work it is riddled with grammatical errors. This has just been my observation over my years of teaching. Hope that helps some people.

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.

I live in Brazil and we have an american school here, wich is montessori. My son is ADHD and I really think he would learn better going to montessori school and learning english wich is the primary language there. Do you think he would pay more attetion/learn better over there?

I would think Montessori would be good for a child with ADHD, because one of the aspects of a Montessori school is that the students are in motion around the room throughout the day. So rather than sitting still and listening to a teacher (which is hard for them), they are moving from activity to activity at their own pace. This is my own personal opinion, not based on any studies done on children with ADHD.
I'm pp ADHA mom... and I was thinking the same thing about would be better than sitting and listening to a teacher...
Tnx
