Reply To: Why don't children have a say in their own education?

i used to love the Montessori method but as an OT i see the problems it raises. besides it being very very difficult to use side by side with learning sifrei kodesh, children who have weak skills learn to avoid those skill areas completely instead of working thru them. Children who struggle with fine motor or group work will sometimes opt out of activities that develop those skills and fall further behind.
