Great piece! What you described at your school is consistently happening across the country in public Montessori schools. Do you (or anyone) know of schools or districts we can look to who would be a model for bucking this trend? What Durham Public Schools in NC is doing right now may be a viable option but time will tell.
Look at the Lumin schools is East Dallas. They have had significant success improving the lives of the families in their community in many ways including training Hispanic parents both to be staff but also support their families.
Thank you Tom, well put! Not only relevant but great questions! I truly appreciate the model of Montessori education as an integrated part of the places where parents work/families live. This model offers a shared interest and responsibility for everyone involved - nourishing community working/living.
Great piece Tom. I was halfway through and thought about Mira’s book and then you referenced it in the next paragraph. One of the many thoughts I have had over the years are montessori programs in factories and housing projects.
