What amazed me most, was the level of excitement demonstrated by children in the Montessori school

I found a school that I liked, and briefly discussed with the Montessori teacher my concerns about Jacobs's behavior in public school.
After assuring me that Jacob's experience was a very common mistake made by kindergarten teachers, the Montessori school's director didn't hesitate a moment and strongly recommend I have Jacob try a year with them. Well, without hesitation I enrolled Jacob for school at Montessori that Fall. My son was actually termed 'gifted' within weeks of attending Montessori. Several of the staff commented on his enthusiasm, creativity and willingness to help out other students in the classroom.
I was so impressed with his improvements I volunteered to help out in the classroom a few times a month.
Since that time as my children have reached school age, I have enrolled all of them in schools practicing the Montessori method of teaching. None of my children have had any problems, and they have all excelled and surpassed their peers on educational assessment tests.
I learned many things while my children have been learning in Montessori. From other parents and skilled educators, I learned that children need to be encouraged to choose from a variety of different developmental activities.. so they learn how to teach themselves.
