Yeah. Lasting influence like they can’t read.
Montessori seems to appeal strongly to the Left.
I later learned the school they attended was a mixed model school - they had three hours of structured learning each morning, and three hours of full-on Montessori free schooling each afternoon.
Two of my Nephews are Montessori schooled. Both are head and shoulders above some of the other kids in the family. They’re very nice to be around, interesting to talk to, well-read, both can play numerous musical instruments, they can repair and/or mend just about anything, they raise and are kind to animals, well-traveled, very responsible, are total Nature Boys - and they’re just hitting their teens.
Seems to have worked out well for them, though I will also add that they have a Mensa-Member Mother who makes big, BIG money and a Father who did the ‘stay at home’ part while raising them.
That probably helped. ;)
They learn how to be sensitive, caring rule followers. We have friends who’s kids went to a school and the mom actually taught there as well. The boy is a gay green activist and the daughter is considering a “career” with the peace corps.
All kinds of famous people born on August 31: Caligula, Commodus (Roman emperor 180-192), and Maria Montessori.
The idea that all children learn the same way therefore can be taught the same way should no longer be practiced, but the public schools and their unions seem to believe that. Montessouri schools probably work wonders for certain children but are the wrong approach for others - the problem is figuring out which is which. Seems like parents should have more help with that so they can make the right choices for their children. But then the rats that run education only want children to be in the union-run pantifa factories.
