1) The longer they stay in the Montessori system the more likely they’ll be going to a top college
2) All sorts but no matter what professions, they’re usually seen as leadership material
3) lol, more than ready for SATs
4) It’s been documented that Montessori students, on average, do much better than students of tradition education presentation.
They do the same thing regular schools do; the only difference is the delivery method of presenting the education. Great 4 ANY kid
@ricechas
that is totally not true at all. Perhaps it was your short stint that aided in your problems of readjusting but it is widely documented that Montessori students are more advanced on average in college than students from the regular traditional way of education presentation and anyways, students do have readjusted issues from school to school regardless of what kind of school.
It is a brilliant system. We scraped the $ together for our kids and it’s worth every single penny.
Search on “Google Founders Talk Monetssori” and watch their interview with Barbara Walters. They credit Montessori with their success. Also Google Angeline Lillard for research on this subject.
@k1rubino I’ve wondered the same, I have a friend that raves about his 9 year old in Montessori education but he fails any test given to him. My friend answers “they eventually get it.”
Standardized tests don’t agree with this method but this method may be better in a lot of areas.
Do these children go on to top colleges? What professions do they take on later in life? Are they prepared to take the SAT’s. What are the test scores like or do they test?
Each Montessori School has it’s differences. Keep that in mind too.
There are schools that will take infants. They have materials to help muscular coordination like kicking balls or pulleys, and various things to build awareness like low mirrors and activities where they follow a ball with their eyes as it rolls inside a box.
However, if you want to make sure a child has the full benefit of a Montessori education, they must be in by 3 or 4 years old. 5 is a stretch. By 6 many “sensitive periods” are over, and it becomes much harder. 3-6 is very important.
My 3yr old son attends montessori in Sydney Australia..and its the best thing to ever happen to him..he absolutely loves it, he adores his teachers, his teachers adore him, its a warm learning environment…and they genuinely care for each individual childs needs..i dont feel anxious leaving him behind because i TRUST his teachers who make sure that he is safe. The children are nurtured and loved, they become confident within themselves and successful later in life…
@chubbychilli A good question for all of us would be to aks ourselfes “Why arnt there more schools like this?”
Because we dont have teachers who are ready to spend so much time with children, who arnt paid properlz for there serveses.
Schools such as this are integrated into the surrounding and use the sources of the town they are in… And familys have to interact on a higher level with the school.
Have a look at the jena-plan schools, and the laborschule bielefeld.
Such schools are seldom:(
You should watch “Google Founders Talk Montessori.” They credit their pre-school Montessori education with their success. Not being genius’, not Stanford, but Montessori. Both went but they met at Stanford.
towards the end of this film i got quite emotional. this concept seems so logical..let the child explore at their own pace. I feel kinda cheated i went to a “average/normal” school. I hope I can find a school that adopts such methods for my son. I am very much a visual person that learns from experience rather than being TOLD what I should think or learn. I never had such freedom to learn at my own pace. Shame.
At what age is it good to begin to take our child to a Montessori school?
Oh my, sorry for your bad experience. I totally disagree. I think if you spend at least 3 years in early childhood or early el in a SOLID, true Montessori program it teaches you how to learn and that learning can happen where ever. I attended Montessori school from kindergarten through 4th grade, and had no trouble transitioning to traditional public school. In fact, I loved school until high school. So, don’t discount a good Montessori program!
excellent video, as student whose graduating in human development, I found this to be very enlightening.
I personally think, having been to a montessori school, that although it was a beatiful experience, I was only there for a short time, and when I went to “big school” if you will, it was a completely different experience, there was pressure, deadlines, coursework, and it was seldom hands on. There is no point in sending your child to a montessori pre-school if you don’t intend on continuing in montessori, it’s a big schock to the system, a shock I’m still getting over!
why do they use cursive writing? When they are older all they would need to know is how to sign there name.
I hope they are learning computer skills as well.
I went to a Montessori school until 11th grade, this is in opinion the best way of learning.
I really like this video and feel that it showcases so many wonderful things about the Montessori curriculum. For example, there seemed to be a special needs boy in the classroom. Although the misconception is that Montessori is for “normal” children, this video shows that Montessori is for everyone!
