| Concept of the traditional education system is known to all, but parents do not have extensive knowledge on the Montessori method of education which therefore makes it difficult for them to make a decision whether they want their children to follow the Montessori system or not. They are unaware of the program or the benefits there of. They wonder how and who originated this method and how they can find a good, brief, introduction to Montessori from birth through the school years. Parents are also interested to know the impacts it has had on students of the Montessori method of education and the success rates. Research has shown that Montessori children are well prepared for later life academically, socially and emotionally and ranked above average on such criteria as turning in work on time, listening attentively, using basic skills, showing responsibility, asking provocative questions, showing enthusiasm for learning and adapting to new situations. Not knowing when the children should be introduced to Montessori, it would be interesting for the parent to find out that this method can be introduced to infants & toddlers from 3 months onwards. For those parents who wonder whether they can home school their child using this system they will be delighted that with proper training obtained by the parent it is a system that can even be followed at home. They will also wish to be know the names of the accrediting institutions that awards certification to the Montessoris and the teachers. When the child is ready to go to a professionally run Montessori the parents will wonder how they will be able to find the right Montessori for their child. When parents become aware of this system and its expectations then by observation of a several selected school they will be able to make the correct choice. Their findings could lead them to some Montessori schools which do not adhere to the Montessori principles and they would then wonder how that is possible. Unfortunately, the name Montessori is not legally protected and the governing bodies have no jurisdiction over the institution as these schools are not affiliated to any of the governing bodies. As Montessori schools are considered expensive and some parents many doubt whether it would be affordable and as an alternative look for public schools which follows this system Montessori schools are located in the church buildings as well as in private dwellings leaving parents to think that Montessori might be faith based though that is not the case. Parents with children of special needs are excited when they find out that this method of education is very effective for such children. Contradicting the traditional education system Maria Montessori proved that a child is self taught and does not need a teacher to spoon feed her/him but only to guide her. | |
