#edchatie 'Chele, have you seen negative consequences from Montessori schooling that uses discovery learning?

1/2 By the time they get to me, Montessori is long forgotten. I do very guided discovery. Probably not liked in an inspection but have all the #cogscisci evidence to back me up. #edchatie

2/2 What I am definitely seeing, and it is echoed in marking LC exam papers, is an inability to answer a question asked. Particularly if the context is unfamiliar. Skills don’t matter if you can’t see the context in a question. #edchatie

Thanks for replying. This only occurred to me during today's chat. But it concerns me as my granddaughter has been attending Montessori schools up to grade 4—until her school burned down in LA. I want to assure my son she will be ok in public schools—which I have always favoured anyway

I should say that in Ireland Montessori stops at kindergarten. I then see them at the equivalent of Grade 7 for the first time.
