My son is at a public Montessori school. The teachers there seem really wonderful but since the school is public they have to follow lots of state rules and curriculum requirements that make it not truly Montessori. I've talked to his teacher about it and I think that most of the people that work there aren't too happy about the un-Montessori things they have to do.

I think that at a truly Montessori school my son would do great and he's doing better here so far than he was at his normal school last year. I'm sure it depends on the teachers and the child though.
