i think it is the opposite

montessori goes by the child level, if the child moves fast, the lessons move fast too.

in traditional education they have a scope and go by the scope, maybe for advanced kid they do a little more enrichment.

if your kid is very hands on then montessori will be a fit.

@Aruna

Thanks a lot for your input. I do want to try for one year montessori and then decide next year .But when discussing with my friends who is a montessori tranined teacher she say changing schools offen can affect the kid. And also heard that a montessori education pays only if you continue atleast for 2 years.

And as I think about my dear son,he cannot be forced to do anything.He just does not take anything if he is forced. In this terms of thought hope i have decided the best for him.

I did see the material that is provided in the montessori and it looks impressive. At the end of 6 years the kid can write word and sentences,vowels. And they teach until 2 digit addition and subtraction and spelling dictation everyday.

1. depends on kids, which is best for them
2. depends n managemet/teachers....some montessori have pathetic teachers! totally low grade! thats how othr private schools like kindercare,primrose,rare learning and kidsrkids rule over it!
3. depends on what your approach is at home...
4. depends on which school ISD they follow: only for US.

Montessori : structured education, age wise development,fast pace environment mostly all kids are able to cope up while few are not..in montessori itself thr are 2..one that follows maria montessori n the othr that are self owned/professional..
maria montessori ones are the best when it comes to curriculam..while the professional ones stand at par when it comes to exposure to outer world..
studies showed that most self owned professional montessori kids were more comfortable in public school thn the ones that came out of maria montessori...although it totally dpends on kids, maria montessori kids took a while to learn from group learning..when they went for thr pre-k/k studies in public or classroom type of education.

Private ones: mostly they follow thr own style of education, n some standard professional ones like kindercare, primrose have thr own curriculam..more or less same as montessori but discipline level is little less compared to all montessori..
life basics are not much pressurized on kiddu...while in montessori, discipline is the first thing !

personality difference..the kids who are scheduled, like to do things on time or are able to express show excellent results in shortest span when put to montessori, they wont feel the pressures of montessori n will groom @ excellence..u will be able to mark the diff in them in matter of 1-2 weeks..thus the entire idea of "learning" just speeds up.
while the kids who are easy going,,when kept in schedule feel the pressure,,,feel comfortable for othr daycare or schools..and they learn faster in free environment thn the structured ones in montessori.
more later..got to catch up with some chores:)
