Interesting to read. I've always been a big fan of Montessori, but I'm recently a bit disappointed with DS4's school (He's second year Primary.). I've been hesitant to try to enrich the academic work at home because I didn't want to interfere with the "Montessori Method", but now I'm wondering if he'd do better at home.
After $10,000 and a year and a half of daily practice with the sandpaper letters, wouldn't you think that he'd have an idea of how to form the letters, even if he wasn't perfect in execution? It's somewhat shocking how wrong his form is. (I only yesterday had him try his cursive writing at home.)
