Our kids started their school experiences in great Montessori programs and that, IMHO, was one of the smartest decisions of our lifetime. A big part of the Montessori process is learning such things as cooperation, helpfulness, community, empathy, respect, and the belief that every child is unique and valued.
For the life of me, Ive never understood public educations resistance to the Montessori methods. The assumption that life skills are learned at home is flawed. Kids at home are usually surrounded by adults with authority and not by other children, so when they show up at school at a young age they don’t always know how to behave when around a dozen other children.
Is there a connection between shrinking family sizes and school shootings? Look at who are the children doing the shooting. They didn’t as young children learn to merge with other children and become members of a children community, nor did the children communities learn to embrace them and make them feel like they belonged. And look at what Maria Montessori accomplished and with what children she achieved it with. Street children. Kids predisposed to becoming gang members, thieves and resentful killers.
