Question: Can someone tell me more about the Montessori philosophy? What is the difrence between Montessori and traditional shool sistem?

Answer: The difference between Montessori and traditional school system is the educational approach.  In a traditional class, the teacher uses the board most of the time.  The Montessori approach uses activities.  Lots of hands-on activities.\n\nI think this is why kids who had a Montessori education do practically well when they transfer to traditional schools.  But the common observation is their difficulty in adjusting initially to the new setting of the traditional method.
