Comment on Exploring FAQs about the Benefits of Early Childhood Education, Part Two by preschool music programs

Actually parents now are being aware about their children’s future and providing the best school education and music knowledge. But still in some rural areas, where people are uneducated their children still remain away from these acreer development activities.

Nice to see that schools are offering more music programs and events to make their children free from education. Music should be compulsory because it has creativity, fun, brain storming activities and some puzzles as well. Thanks.

Hi there!

I love the image at the top of the blog of the bulb with AHA!

I am a writer (and a part-time education dayjob:)

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the image for a short story collection about “Aha!” moments?
I’d of course include credit and could also include a contact if you’d like…

Please let me know your thoughts….

Again, image, brilliant,
Dina

Comment on Montessori Mafia Article Causing a Buzz by Paul

Tests, tasks, rote memorization – those might have been important 100+ years ago in an agrarian economy, or even in the early/mid part of the 20th century when workers like my grandfather worked in the kinds of factories that covered the US. Today is a different day, however. More and more farming is done by large companies with equipment that can, in some cases, run themselves! Factory jobs are obviously being outsourced to other countries. The growth in the computing age has made obsolete many formerly critical US jobs.

Now, we find ourselves in the Internet age, where the generation of ideas suddenly seem much more important than memorizing tasks. That’s why the business leaders listed in this article, as well as most other successful CEOs, are visionaries. Recognize that they are not all Montessori-trained, nor would we expect them to be. The defining trait amonst many is “creativity of thought.” So while the country will continue to churn out successful leaders from public schools, a strong claim can certainly be made that an early Montessori education provides a powerful head start for a child in the 21st century.

Now if only the WSJ had asked a group of young Montessori students to come up with a better title for the article.

Like most of us who grew up in traditional schools, the decision to put our children into a Montessori environment is actually somewhat Montessori—let’s try this and see what happens. And it’s not surprising that the approach has such great results. My kids do a lot of hard work for academics, but they also participate in things like spending a chunk of hours outside re-enacting the battle of Gettysburg, which is SO much better than reading about it!

I think it’s great that in this time of reflection (and hopefully change) on what works and doesn’t work in the education system, the Montessori method is getting serious thought and exposure by the mainstream.
