A quixotic, idealistic-but-not-representative-of-truth, educational style in which underachieving children are allowed to define their own curriculum.

These children typically do not receive homework or other supplemental study aids of a challenging nature, because it would, of course, disrupt their mental state and disturb them emotionally.

Since, in turn they, are 'allowed' and encouraged to work at their own lackadaisical pace, they, of course, study their materials as hard as they possibly can.

Montessori does not "push" academics, but rather lets children play and recognizes that at the ages of 4, or 5, or 7, or 12, kids are still developing their creativity, imagination, and mental capacity to recognize when things are too difficult. Also, teachers help the students grow by forming 1-on-1, nonsexual relationships 7hrs/day for 3 years, because the alternative is stressful and can lead to an increase in the rate of suicide.

They are also exposed to situations in which they can improve their ability to socialize and be a constructive member of society. In small classes of 5 to 25 students, these kids develop their social skills by delving deeper into personal, meaningful relationships than in those gross, nasty public schools with 300+ kids per grade!

Many attend college too! Not only do they often skip Junior College, but they go to an amazing repertoire of colleges, ranging from your local community college to ITT-Tech, University of Pheonix, or even DeVry!

Name of Italian woman doctor and anthropologist who studied children's behavior for the first half of the 20th century. She developed an educational system that allows children to learn and experience the world with the goal of being a thoughtful, contributing member of society. Often called "cosmic education" because of its well-rounded approach. Very often misunderstood in the USA because teacher-led classrooms are in direct opposition to Montessori's student-led method of learning.

school for special handicap children that cannot pass regular school, and find this alternate way instead of dropping out. most commonly known for the school with children that play with theyre turtles.

montessori's revenge: the shit children give their parents after learning never to take "No," as an answer at (Montessori) schools and home.

A joke of a school in every way possible. Every student that attends hates the school and shits on it daily. There are way too many rules and the teachers are ass. It's dead.

A school in which the teachers have nothing more than a high school education are fat asses and sit around eating and watching children like babysitters all day. Many of them are grown into nice educated faggets you love nothing more then sucking dick.

A place where kids learn a whole lot and actually learn to LOVE school. Many people back away from montessori schools because they're not "structured" enough, but the truth is that these kids learn better in this kind of environment than the kids in catholic school who are told to fold their hands at their desks and be quiet. Not saying all catholic schools are like that, nor am I saying that it's bad, but montessori schools kinda accomplish more with their unique style of learning. They're really expensive, but it's well worth the price.

Motorists for whom lane makers, passing lanes, and speed limits are merely suggestions to consider along the way. So named for the self-directed educational system which encourages children to learn at their own pace.

it is not a school for speds school. in fact, it is a very expensive school. they teach you multiplication tables in kindergarten.
it doesn't get better than that.
