Wow... and to think, I enrolled my baby into a Montessori school not knowing all of the benefits he can reap. I am enjoying leading all about the benefits of this education/learning style . Thank you.
I don’t agree with rewards, adults are rewarded as they get jobs. Eventually children will learn about rewards. A paycheck reinforces the behavior to come back to work. This also doesn’t account for children who do not have any intrinsic motivation. I agree punishment is certainly not necessary though. Also most elementary schools don’t travel class to class in 50 min periods.

Interesting, unfortunately the use of language hasn't aged well in parts.
