I think her favorite saying is: “Isn’t that so cute?”

Our daughter is in a private school and every year she gets a Montessori kid who has transfered into her class. Everyone of the kids has had problems adjusting to a "typical" classroom setting. It is the "do as you like" philosophy that has caused the problems. Sooner or later this philosophy catches up with them and they will have problems IMHO.
