I admit that I know nothing of the Montessori method of teaching.  With Abby now attending a Montessori Charter school, which can take her through middle school, we're going to need to start learning along with her.

Last night, I attended Back to School Night and one of the first things Abby's teacher told us was, "Don't expect a lot of class work coming home.  We are not product-oriented, we are process-oriented." 

I told Paul this later that night and he said, "Oh, that sounds like [the people I work with]."

Excellent.  Montessori students = Defense Contractors In Training!
