MYTH 1: Montessori Is a Free-for-All

The Montessori approach is too permissive, a virtual free-for-all. Children need boundaries and Montessori doesn’t offer them.

TRUTH: In the Montessori classroom, children have the freedom to choose work that has a purpose. This includes a wide variety of classroom activity, but the underlying responsibility of the child is to make good choices. Teachers and assistants spend a great amount of time observing the children, helping them make good choices when necessary, and removing obstacles to their optimal learning activities. Good manners and respect for others is taught and expected, so the practice of social responsibility becomes part of every school day.
