Advantages and disadvantages of Montessori education

The advantages and disadvantages of Montessori education are as follows:

A. Advantages of Montessori education:

1, through the Montessori education, the child is very good at geometric and mathematical thinking.

2, Montessori teaching aids give children many opportunities for hand training and advocate the formation of learning ability in the movement, which makes the child can not only use their hands freely, but also has excellent body balance and coordination.

3. Children in a Montessori education are open and actively searching, and show an autonomous attitude towards learning. This is because Montessori education promotes a child-centered approach, supplemented by teaching aids. Every Montessori teaching and learning tool has the advantage of "self-correction", which is a feature of Montessori education.

4. The child can recognize whether it is correct or not by looking at it with his eyes or touching it with his hands. Only those who have experienced "self-correction" will be honest and will learn on their own.

Second, the shortcomings of Montessori education:

1, because China has not fully implemented the Montessori education, so in the current situation, the child is in the kindergarten or counseling class to receive this training, but in the family life generally can not be carried out in the most effective cooperation.

2, after the child went to school, because China's elementary school, junior high school and even high school is a traditional education model, requiring students to sit in front of the desk to listen to the teacher's lectures, while the Montessori class is to allow children to sit on the ground, no desks, benches, the child has been accustomed to the "free" activities of the atmosphere, but also not adapted to the elementary school education model. The first time I've seen this, I've seen it in my life.
