It sounds great, but I still need to do my research. Is it religious? I have a two year old son, so I'm looking at all my options. I've just discovered Montessori yesterday. Thank you for this great video!!

While some schools may be affiliated with a faith, the vast majority of Montessori schools are independent and nonsectarian. The spirituality that I mention has to do with one's sense that we are part of the web of life, that the Earth is part the cosmos, and that we are all part of the human family. We seek to inspire a sense of wonder, global understanding, a tradition of giving back to our communities through service, and a sense of personal integrity and peace.

I didn't go to a Montessori school, but I still think this way.

Of course. One need not go to a Montessori school to think, learn, or teach like a Montessori educator or child. People with similar attitudes tend to value it, choose it for their children, and find it compelling as adults.

He's so right, State education prepares them for Capitalism, NOT for peace...

Well Said! I agree. My children received a Montessori education for 5 yrs & loved every minute of it! They eagerly craved learning. They were the only children in our neighborhood missing school on their breaks. Montessori children are respected as a whole by the purest form of education available. Just as each parent cherishes their child's 1st smile to their 1st words... so too does the Montessori Way of education with their gentle and nurturing guidance, that creates a Love of Learning =)

No. I grew up with early Montessori education; and yes, I didn't do well in school as i couldn't be "told" what to learn. however i have a LOVE for learning I carried my whole life, everything i have learnt i taught myself, i went the direction i wanted to go not the direction i was told go. Now i teach children these skills, Sadly the Education System is ALL wrong, people are not ready for montessori school age &high school guidance. we need about 3 more generations of new thinkers b4 change

State education prepares people for Statism. Capitalism equals free markets- which would certainly include a free market in education, precisely what we don't have. Montessori flies in the face of the state-run education system, which politicians finance by looting from producers like me, you, and other people engaged in capitalistic activities-- activities like providing the computer screen and software by which you're reading this in the comfort of your heated or air conditioned room.

What exactly is nonsense? You have to be stupid not to appreciate these traits.
