Jun 8, 2011 - I went to a montessori school. I never learned to read well. I'm 19 now and I still have problems with reading. In class I'm having a hard time reading something out loud. I was good in math, I pretty much only did math in primary school. I think I had too much freedom to learn whatever I wanted. Not sure if this freedom was that good for my childhood.

Sep 10, 2011 - I went to a 'free school' for a while during high school. This was in the 70's, and enjoyed very much. One of the teachers brought her baby to class and we had fun playing with her. Some of the boys had never held a baby. Next generation: during daughter's high school years, even though it was not Montessori school, the teachers let her go at her own pace. And she did not skip school or lose interest. Great video, thankyou!!

Sep 26, 2011 - That goes without saying. Most parents realize that they are responsible for the childs moral charachter. They must also look out for the childs education, the question was perfectly legitimate.

Sep 26, 2011 - "They must also look out for the childs education..."Clearly, anyone that has viewed this video cares about child education, my point is that parents should be more concerned with the moral character of their children, rather than what school they end up at_ If u, as a parent, are fretting over your toddlers future college, you are missing the bigger lesson that needs to be taught to children_

Nov 5, 2011 - @DrOMFG: I'm sorry you have trouble reading. :( Were you at an AMI school? AMI teachers are trained to recognize Sensitive Periods and guide children to the work they are ready for. In an AMI school, children do choose their own work, but there is so much structure, and children do not just learn one subject. The problem with Montessori is that anyone can use the name without being a true Montessori school. It's best to go to amiusa.org to see which schools are certified.

Feb 10, 2012 - This makes me really sad that children of low income families cant do this, these schools are so expensive i really wish that i could do this for my daughter, I think it is great. Me and my friend have agreed that when i get my degree in Early Childhood education we are going to try to make a Montessori school for low income families because I'm pretty sure that Maria Montessori would be sad that her philosophy isn't available to all children in all walks of life.

Feb 29, 2012 - The first aim is building good citizens.It is not only to teach boys and girls what society is,but no train them as members of cociety.And is one advantage of going there that boys and girls are apt to have rhe conceit more or less taken out of them,becausee they are thrown among others who are superior to them and because their companions have little prtience with their pretence.

Feb 29, 2012 - i think its a shame that in order for my children to receive an education like this, i'd have to shell out $15 grand + a year for something that should be a right! A quality education...what about low income families?

Mar 6, 2012 - yeah of course you dont like it. you learn, thats why.

Snivelsnavel Says:

Apr 3, 2012 - I used to go to these kind of schools.They make public schools seem like a joke, in education. I'd highly recommend you to have your children learn in these kinds of curriculums, if affordable.

May 4, 2012 - That's a difficult point. Obviously, to even suggest people move to areas where Montessori is cheaper or to an area that has public Montessori schools. All we can hope for is change where more schools open up and more options become available.

May 10, 2012 - 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.

May 18, 2012 - Hmmm, school as a parent-substitute. Naaaah. My daughter did lots of these things in classic Kindergarten and primary school, just with more children and more discipline. We were thinking about Montessori, but from the feedback of other parents who had their children their this school lead to their kids having problems with normal subjects such as reading and maths later on.

May 19, 2012 - oh man, I went to a montessori pre-school, and I remember aaaall of these activities. My friend at age 3 or 4 was doing division, and we all did this chinese writing activity in the sand.
