Do any of you have your children in a Montessori school or teach them with this method?
I went to one from pre-school to 1st grade, and on&off throughout grade school and middle school. As far as education for the students goes, I have never been taught as well. My classmates and I all read way above our grade level, and did very well on tests.
This does not mean we were smarter than other kids at all, just that we were being taught using Montessori methods instead of public school methods.
I hear very little about these schools any more and was just wondering.
