Counter factual my child is at least 1 maybe 2 years ahead of public school education on reading, writing and math.
School, teachers, parents and children themselves are the difference maker. That said - thats the difference maker on all educational programs.
- _blz2 4y agoAll these replies for and against Montessori schools in this thread are useless without the names of the schools and perhaps even the teachers involved are mentioned. Wish those who posted shared that info. Seems to me like the execution of the idea is the problem and the outcome has a wide range based on the quality of teachers involved.
- marcus0x62 4y agoI’ve been a “for” commenter in this thread. I doubt there’s much intersection of the sets of people who: * Are reading this thread * Live in the same (smallish) town in Tennessee that I do * Have children of the age my daughter’s school serves * Are interested in a Montessori education for them What would be the point of my naming the school?
- Mistletoe 4y agoBut is your child gifted and would already be 1-2 years ahead or even more in the public school system? The child I mention got back on track once enrolled in a conventional school.
- boringg 4y agoNo, child wouldn't be ahead in public school system as you are paced for your learning. I see the argument you are making though.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoThese days, many public schools have differentiated learning for reading and math to the point where it is possible to do middle school reading and math assignments in first grade.
- euroderf 4y agoThis is a problem with the (oft-praised-by-outsiders) Finnish educational system. Equality is very highly valued, arguably at the expense of restraining fast learners. My kid is looking to be bright as hell and I'm not sure how to approach this.
