Montessori and discipline

by Kristen Francesco

Sep 18, 2010

I would like to hear others opinions on appropriate discipline that fits the guidelines that Dr. Montessori established. For example, I am working with a students who attends a Montessori Middle School program and they use time-out as punishment. This does not seem to be appropriate, either in age or in philosophy.

Thanks.

Sep 21, 2010

Over the years, the nails have been disppearing.. I have been in every local hardware store looking for replacement "nails" with nothing coming close. Those b...See More

CS I will however say that this was done for EACH teacher in the school including assistants, afternoon staff, etc. Not just select teachers.

The sch director sent out messages in advance for volunteers. We usually do this during teacher appreciation week in April/May.

Prior to that we do a parent-appreciation week a few months earli...See More

Mary Have you observed any other Montessori classes in action? Do you have an assistant? One great technique to use is called "the waiting spot" - basically a certain chair set out in the room where children who need help can go.

Mary Hi! nienhuis.com has the full contingent and also a brief explanation. There is more to Montessori than just the materials though. It is a very different philosophy of development than what is found in "traditional education". Good luck
