Could you please elaborate on the lack of grading. Do you assess learners?

[@hannahreynen4283]

If you are sending your child to a Montessori school. Think about it this way, the way the children learn through this maybe be beneficial, but there is not Montessori university. Your kids will come out weird. They just won’t be used to a university if they do choose that path. You don’t learn things like a normal school would.

@@Iyadkay I think they write notes on what each kid has shown they can do on their own and what they're struggling with. Much better than giving an A, B, C grade that tells you they did their homework and behaved in class. Wish I went to such a school.

@ well I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume she means that Montessori doesn't really quite fit into the current educational system which I agree with, but also she says how she thinks that it is a good system itself. It's just putting those kids in a bit of an uncomfortable situation trying to adapt to the current system if they wanna go to a university in which case she definitely has a point.

[@synthiaross1462]

@@junodonatus4906 Here’s the thing ❤️ Montessori is learning through play. It is allowing your child’s interests to play a role into their homeschooling journey. My son has autism, so we are not going over materials that are beyond his comprehension level. He learns Art, Math through hands on manipulative and sensory work, Language Arts including handwriting following a simplified version of it (lowercase letters first, grouping letters by stroke, etc) Health and Hygiene importance, Music and Movement and so much more. It’s all about teaching in the way your child learns. Even with him having special needs, not helping with secondary tasks such as putting something on the counter, throwing away trash, cleaning up, etc has a miraculous impact. We don’t have much money to work with, so we simply allow him to learn measurements through baking and cooking, lots and LOTS of outdoor play on his playground and nature walks, etc. There’s a lot of Montessori Marie rams and toys online that are extremely expensive, so I always advise dollar store and DIY.

I went to a Montessori preschool and was very impressed. I also studied early childhood development independently and as part of the formal Swedish educational system. Creating an orderly but gentle environment and letting children gravitate toward the activities and curriculum that fits their developing personalities is an excellent way to educate. After all, the intelligence and maturity of children is greatly underestimated; They are little citizens who need to be protected and taught, yes, but who also should be heard and considered and allowed reasonable liberty to pursue their interests for their future career and lives.

[@sowmyamani1122]

The theory passed on is wonderful and when I think about it, i feel this is how children should learn. Happy, by choice, and free.

[@junodonatus4906]

But isn't that provided that children DO want to learn. I can't see acquiring an education (a well rounded one) if they are free to do what they want, which is what it sounds like. I don't think we can count on children to understand the value of many lessons and subjects and so they must be "forced" in a sense. And, that's not a bad thing as we get better when we struggle and when we are pushed. This is also how one acquires self-discipline. Another thing is, how practical is it for the real world, in which it often takes doing what we don't want to do to be successful.

[@sowmyamani1122]

@@junodonatus4906 Guided learning is important and useful to development skills. Was not trying to negate this point by my observation. Background of my thought and comment - my toddler has started montessori schooling and i see she is happy and open to be who she is and also talks about things she learned when she back home. Though she goes through separation anxiety being away from me, i sense she likes the school and what she does there and lot of credit goes to the learning environment and the teachers there. However my niece who is 5 and is going to a regular academic-focussed school is struggling with the transition from two years of online schooling during the pandemic to overly strict teachers and a traditional classroom env. She's become quiet in the evenings and cries sometimes. Even more due to the pandemic the transition to a school environment should be made smoother and Montessori methodologies have this in-built. That stands out to me.

[@junodonatus4906]

@@sowmyamani1122 I understand your perspective. I just finished my first year of teaching sixth grade science (public school and high poverty level). I'm currently researching charter schools and the Montessori methodology came up so I wanted to know more about it. Upon watching this video I immediately thought of my former students who, if left to their own devices, would be playing video games and on their cell phones making TicTok videos rather than pursue career oriented knowledge within the classroom. I can, thus far, see self-guidance and choices incorporated into an overall education but not the whole of it. Again, coming from my recent (and limited) teaching experience. Way too many of my students thought of themselves as future gamers or KZbinrs to see the value of standard academics, and the latter is something I tried to instill in them whenever I could. That, fighting an attention span shortened by technology that provides instant answers and stimulation. As this video focused more on autonomy and choices, I was wondering where academic standards fit in to that, such as attainment of the appropriate grade-level reading skills, etc. The situation with your niece, btw, is unfortunate. In this day and age, strictness is being abandoned as a general practice in favor of a more loosely based environment in which cooperative learning is emphasized (Kagan structures for example). Even the tables are round to encourage interaction. I know that the administration at my school at least does recognize the underdeveloped social skills and classroom etiquette brought about by the isolation due to Covid. So we do take that into consideration as part of the reason for the behavior and classroom management challenges that we face.

[@junodonatus4906]

@@sowmyamani1122 Also, I don't know if I'm a believer in no grading or homework, as it defines Montessori learning. The reason I say this is due to the work environment in the real world. Having a career is defined by being judged. Whether a nurse or a teacher, etc. we are graded on numbers, we have additional training (classes to take), and studying to do at home (on our time), and this trend continues throughout our careers. I think that students should be aware, and get used to the idea, that having a career includes sacrifice of a lot of personal time that would otherwise go to relationships. I feel that being graded and having homework acclimates them to that fact of life.

[@sowmyamani1122]

@@junodonatus4906 Aah. You make a good and passionate argument and am glad. I see that we are currently seeing the schooling practices through lens of the very different roles that we are playing in real life. You being a teacher deep in the system and me as a foot-just-in mum. The Montessori method where used in India is mostly only used until the end of kindergarten, and often after that becomes more academic focussed. And the reasons you state are important ones that run in parents' minds here too. For later schooling too over here, few schools allow children to learn in a more relaxed setting, fewer hours per day until the 5th or 6th grade with no homework. In many though, you begin hard core academics at 6 years. I wonder if this is too early. Should children be allowed to be with little classwork, not much or no homework atleast until the 5th grade after which you gradually increase the time spent on school work over the course of the next 3-4 grades? Just allow children to be children when they are younger? From what you say i realise that the economic background of the students also seems important, something i had not consciously thought of earlier in this context. Most middle class and upper middle class homes in India have teaching/learning inculcated into a home environment/psyche with the elders mostly all holding atleast a bachelors degree, so that most children do take their studying seriously, its like its the natural thing to do. Often even when their parents tell them to take it a little easy (from my limited exposure to urban families). But as you point out, in poorer india where the parents themselves are uneducated, the children have no role models to emulate at home and often drop out of middle school if not coerced to stay on with some incentive. Am glad your school is working on this segment of children and you seem to have a good, sensitive method to approach this. I hope you are all able to turn around the future of some of these children if not all. I wish you the best.

Montessori education system seems pretty similar to the Waldorf one in terms of experimentation/practical learning and focus on the individual, but it seems to have no solid ideological foundations, which could provide a better preparation process for the adult life than the mainstream, academic ones, so it's fit just for the kindergarten period.

[@flobberbobber]

Montessori herself was a psychologist and there is science behind the ideology. There is extensive research and observation involved in all levels which as been proven over and over again. Children who complete the Montessori cycle are often above and beyond both academically and socially than those who receive a mainstream education. There are several books and scientific journal supporting Montessori including Montessori's own writings which give the psychology break down pretty clearly. Montessori and Waldorf do have some similarities but Waldorf if based in fantasy while Montessori is based in reality. There are also many other large differences. Pretty much the only similarities between the two are the freedom of the child and the use of natural materials.

[@beautifullytee9444]

I can definitely understand how that could be chaotic, I would probably feel the same way since I'm a person who does better with structure.

[@TackyTuesdaysPPP]

if i ever have kids, i hope I can have the luxury to provide them with this kind of education

[@therealbloomercolfax4280]

Thanks for the video. Why are there so many repeated lines in the comments, same typos and all? It's weirding me out.

[@CaitHoover]

Bots. Creepy huh?

[@globalsinister7832]

Yea Ive noticed that as well

[@mcastillo830]

I studied at montessori but when ur at studying at where im studying, its just a normal school with no montessori ways involved, its sad but true

[@LeaningonJesuswithNanceBiswas]

I am looking forward to joining a school that promotes this teaching method.

[@ErikaBritton]

It was for all of the above reasons I wanted my 3 yr to attend a Montessori school Program ….my precious little one has some cognitive delay and I thought this would be a great intro to learning outside of home ….sadly they are saying that they are “unable to accommodate” my little girl and made suggestions for other daycare that may be more “suitable” for her…… Maria Montessori would be ashamed at how her legacy is being diluted today

The best method for enlightened adults

These are very common in the Netherlands, I was on one to.

[@DunDunExplores]

Great capture and explanation of the history and montessori method

[@sprouts]

Thanks

My sister was kicked out of Montessori school because the teachers didn’t know how to deal with her ADHD. My parents ended up sending me to public school cuz I wasn’t learning anything (I have ADD). Sure this type of learning might help some kids with special needs but I find it absolutely insulting the way they treated my sister and how there was absolutely no guidance when I needed it the most.

[@georgiachapman4991]

My whole family ADHD/ADD so I can completely relate to your issues experienced in the schooling system. I am curious, how many years ago did your sister experience this issue at Montessori school?

[@saureah]

I am grateful that I went to an Montessori shool

[@jasminehudson9705]

I totally agree with this method of teaching. Give children more freedon to learn.

[@marshallturner6085]

This reminds me of Unschooling, which is basically self directed education.

[@jadedesigns6171]

Unschooling definitely works for some people but it isn’t for everyone. Still public school could use a lot more self direction than it has

[@jamesharper8373]

My thoughts are that no one seems to be able to explain what it is. I am fairly interested and have been trying to gain information but I keep hearing the same things; 'teaches kids to be independent, self reliant, free thinkers, explore the world around them,' etc. Almost as if they are all getting the answer from the same pamphlet. Is it just putting kids in a large open room and entertain themselves?

[@doby1buddy2]

Diligently do your research on the school you send your child. Not all are equal.

[@allinonedreamer8137]

I plan to open an after school program that will have Montessori items for children.

[@audraymix1504]

I went to an amazing Montessori school pre-k to 4th grade. However I moved and Found another Montessori school and it sucked. Eventually I went to a Public School

[@staceyseik5603]

Audray Mix were considering a Montessori school for kindergarten-6. Did you find it difficult to transition to public school?

[@sammyslost]

My school is Montessori , I really like the studying methods but the students are so not equal ,as if there's the good student & bad one aka those who annoy teachers and disturb the lesson alot .... *there's no such thing as bullying in my school* And the head teacher said she'll be following a new method with choosing the right students .. I really like it Edit: I'm in highschool (9th grade)

[@deliawoo462]

So I’m studying to be a kindergarten teacher( pedagog) and I have a PowerPoint to write about the different teaching methods between Montessori and reggio emilia. I still think both are similar in a way. But feel free to help me out

[@profscienzeumane4250]

interessante video 🤩🤩 lo utilizzerò per la lezione CLIL 👍🙂grazie

[@beyondr8384]

Please let me know if Montessori works with action for children??

[@rwillia99]

My wife went to Montessori school. It shows. She is not a well adjusted adult and very independent to a fault.

[@valquiriahelenapedacegiz6726]

Parabéns a todos brasileiros que acreditaram acreditam nos estudos experiências educacionais.Maria Montessori pioneira mulher de todos os tempos .

[@Vario69]

How do these schools deal with bullying / disruptive children?

[@johnrobert8634]

The concept explained nicely, but what are the challenges in implement this for higher classes

[@DenshaOtoko2]

The best school method.

[@JordanBeagle]

3:12 No homework? That's all you had to say

[@omagawdistillhaventfoundma6657]

What does it feel to be in a Montessori School? We had a special section in my past elementary school tho.... but we're just focused on work.... especially those written/performance activities and tests.... and... the heavy amount of homeworks we receive....that results for me still being dependent...because during my years there... our parents can't leave us by ourselves or we still needed their help in order to accomplish our work like group performances, most of my classmates there have protective parents and everytime when there's a problem in our class... they're there to socialize... most of my years there left me with anxiety, loneliness and fake relationships... that causes me to be a loner and so called killjoy by my classmates... I was a really shy, quiet person back then... I'm an introvert and anti-social...I've always avoided people...I didn't care what was happening in my surroundings at all and felt really numb at the end... Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk :v

[@globalsinister7832]

Thats sad. In the montessori school I went to (in high school) we had no homework, it definitely wasnt rigid and the school was basically a community

[@mangeshdhaj9846]

Very beautiful and informative

[@canardeur8390]

I have no experience with the Montessori system, but I would bet anything that it can never be worse than the classical school system.

[@erikakreva6583]

I am not sure where you gathered the information for the video, but as a trained Montessori educator I can tell you that the children she observed at the hospital for the mental challenged back then were in fact blind children and children with several types of disability. That is the main reason for the development of the method based on the five senses!!! She developed materials and after months of practice these same children were examined alongside a group of "normal" children, today known as typically developmentally children. Local officials in Rome offered her the opportunity to open the first case dei bambini shortly after.

Nicely explained with drawing

[@erinbuckley1170]

i know many people who are happy with their experience, but i did recently meet a young adult who went to montessori in Germany, he was very underdeveloped socially, and told me he could not understand math over a fourth grade level...the school only picked up that he had been on the same math book for 3 years when he was in SIXTH GRADE, by which point he was sooooo far behind was very adamant it had almost ruined his future propects. Only one of many of course, but i guess there is a danger of kids being left behind when you give them no clear base line to aim for.

[@TigersandBearsOhMy]

Unfortunately that happens in traditional school too. In my highschool, there were kids who could barely read, let alone do math or perform in the real world. I think it all comes down to the quality and dedication of the teacher or overseer. Too many teachers will just pass a kid who doesn't deserve it so someone else will deal with them. Problem is, no one ever does, and these kids are crippled for life. Very, very common in public schools. I mean, just look at the comment sections in your average video. People's grammar, spelling, and punctuation are atrocious. It's like no one cares. I'm not sure what the solution is, but schooling in general needs a huge overhaul.

[@nerdgeekcosplay909]

Would this educational method be suited for special education students?
