Yes I did in the 70's. It worked out well up until my 6th grade (8th grade if you count kindergarten)
The higher education part (Montessori Lyceum) never worked out for me as lack of structure and wealth of time freedom killed my effort and work ethos. The difference between how primary and higher education was structured on a Montessori based education is to far apart of each other. Primary Montessori education was more about getting the kids curious about the world and make them ask questions and get knowledge that way into the kid.
Higher Montessori education was more like standard pumping knowledge that you have to remember for terms and tests. I was never prepared for that higher education part in my primary education period so I went from bad to worse in my higher education before giving up totally and went to work instead. Later I did catch up when I was grown up. Still, I am thankful for getting Montessori education as it formed my worldview and kept me curious and inquisitive the rest of my life and even now. I do wish that in the last 3 years of my primary schooling I had more support for conquering the higher education years. |
