    Our four and a half year-old recently asked us to move her desk from our home office into her bedroom. She was very particular about placing it in front of the window, getting her own desk lamp, and her own supply of pens. "I want to be able to concentrate on my homework," she said, and proceeded to write about ten words, demonstrating better penmanship than her parents. Thanks to the New England School of Montessori, and its wonderful teachers, our child loves to learn. We have a one year-old at home, she'll soon be following her sister to school.

    The other day I overheard two exhausted looking mothers talking about how unhappy their children are in school. One mother was saying how she has to fight with her son every morning on the way to school and when leaving him. The other was saying how her daughter told her she doesn't like taking tests and when she confronted the teacher about it the teacher explained, "that's how we do things here and that's how we know she retained her facts". These mothers also noted how much their children have changed since being in this school - and not for the better, in fact one said with all the drilling at school it didn't seem as though her reading has improved and her child who once loved books now even wants to look at them.
    After hearing this I am proud to say I am a Montessori Parent and my children LOVE their school. My kids not only look forward to attending class they cry when it's time to LEAVE. They are active learners in this school and their inner scientist is fueled not diminished. They are WAY ABOVE the average public school child in Math, Science, Language, in fact in all aspects.
    Too bad public schools don't learn from the Montessori method.

    So thank you New England School of Montessori for giving my family peace and my children a stimulating education where they are truly active learners!
    I am so glad I made the Montessori choice!
