Antun GaleSkies wow... How do you calculate your GPA??? I like alternative education. The people that seek that out tend to be really cool Alternative education? Like what? Well taking classes at a college is a form of alternative education, even if there is a program that supports it in the school. Going to places other then your jail of a high school is alternative enough for me. alternative rock on the other hand... xp

So Montessori in America is not alternative?? >Is confused< I know that in America you've got to do things a certain way. On a certain subject. Is that the way it is or is my principal just dramatizing stuff??

Sekhmet: NCEA is the secondary school qualifications where I live. I think I could compare it to SAT's. I think...
Montessori. Is a way of teaching. It basically means you get to control how you learn and when you learn and what you learn. Means there are no timetables saying you've got got to learn this at this time at this level. You learn at your own pace and what YOU want to learn.
Is overall very cool.
However if I understand the American education system, you have to learn the set curriculum. I'm not sure if you have to do it in a certain way though.
Meaning all that Montessori is about (in the states) is that you control WHEN you learn.
Still no nasty timetables.
(Did I kill the conversation?? I'm confused)

(Did I kill the conversation?? I'm confused) Unless Im just horribly wrong, Im pretty sure that Montessori hasnt fully caught on here. Yeah, with normal high school there is a curriculum that must be followed. Someone must have gotten the idea that there is one best way to do things. I hope he dies...

OH thats right... they just opened a montessori elementary school near us. Like down the street, its weird...
anyway, in the US the states set certain standards which they beleive all students should learn in that grade or at that age. Classes are then required to teach a certain curriculum, give or take at the techer's discretion.
The term alternative education is used for programs that teach outside of the standards progression. Like elementary school, on to middle school, to high school. There are programs like homeschooling and and taking multiple classes at different schools where you are not taking all your classes in the exact same highschool.
That's about the gist of it biggrin

That just sounds like normal curriculum to me though.
On the other hand.. I have two hundred plus posts on here. I think I'll celebrate with a new hair cut...
