Fake Montessori school...aka Childcare:
more teachers in classroom to give
too much attention to each child,
creating their dependence on adults
rather than working with
and learning from their peers...
or trying to figure things out
by trying different things.
Authentic Montessori school:
less teachers in classroom.
This creates an environment where
the children go to each other for help
rather than create a dependence
on the adults (teachers/assistants)
Historically, Montessori classrooms
have 25-35 students with 2 teachers
and a helper.
