Make mine Montessori

The purpose of Montessori education is not to produce a disordinate number of student's with test scores in the 90th percentile.

The PURPOSE of MONTESSORI EDUCATION is to enable children to become accustomed "to considering those who surround them as a source of help to explore the world," and to grow to be adults who have a new understanding of humanity.

"The new education must foster a new understanding of the real values of humanity and gratitude must be felt for those workers upon whom human life depends. If man is not appreciated, if there is no veneration for human life, how can we expect or hope that men will become friends and work in peaceful collaboration?" Maria Montessori

What kind of educational environment do you want for our children?  Education that is driven by a test score or education that is driven by respect for human life?
