What is a Montessori School?
A Montessori school is a school that encourages the development of children's perceptual, motor, intellectual, 
and social skills. In Montessori schools there is an emphasis on self-directed activity of the children and observation by the teacher. Materials are used to students can discover the physical properties of objects. "They assis students indirectly by asking questions or providing additional materials to help students learn." Grades are self-corrected showing freedom withing the structure. Like the picture to the left, Montessori schools use materials and methods designed to be developmentally appropriate for young children.

Montessori Schools are a different way of teaching that keep the children in mind, and there way of developing. They realize that children develop and think differently than adults. It is important for people to realize this about children and that they are not adults, they are trying to develop into adults. I learned that it is important for teachers to realize this about their students.
My thoughts on Montessori Schools are . . .
This type of schooling is good for children starting out at school. They are able to develop at their own pace and are not pressured into being like everyone else. I have seen that students who have trouble reading often get frustrated instead of being taught at their own pace. They are rushed along with the rest of the class causing them to dislike reading more and more as they continued as they keep growing. Other students who are stronger with their math skills are tied don because they have to stay with the rest of their class. This is a good way to have students develop at their own pace using physical properties. Using physical properties are good for students because they are way to let the student physically and mentally establish what they are learning.
