Cudos ...What a smart girl and what a creative mind! Cudos to you for transcribing her theory - she might turn this into her first bestseller some day!<br /><br />Unrelated to this post, what do you think about homeschooling Montessori-style? Does it work, or is it a contradiction of terms? With respect to practical life curriculum, I don't see why not. Also, art, math, literature, etc. curricula could be covered by an intelligent adult, no? I stumbled upon your discipline blog, and the statement that the Montessori method relies on peer pressure for normalizing stuck in my mind. Does this mean that a group of kids is necessary for what seems to be a very important ingredient of the learning that goes on in a Montessori environment? And further, I wonder, if peer pressure is considered to be a key influencer, what does this imply for individuality? The thing I regret most from my childhood was in fact the concept of wanting, no, needing to be like others in my group. This worked great in terms of discipline, but not so great in terms of self-esteem. In my teenage years I struggled with the idea of being "average" and did my best to live that down. Luckily, most of the time these efforts were productive, rather than destructive, but it could have gone the other way.Ivynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21595148.post-17574838931972369292011-01-17T12:31:57.175-05:002011-01-17T12:31:57.175-05:00Hah!
