Since we can't predict exactly what today's young people will need to know in ten or twenty years, *what* we teach them is less important than *how* they learn to teach themselves. Best takeaway from @salkhanacademy's book The One World Schoolhouse

I’m confused. How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into a setting where they are organized by age, into grades, and forced to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 12 + years? Huh?

My heart 😭❤️ This is so pure. "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion..."

Self-esteem is not something adults can bestow upon children. It is something children work toward and discover for themselves. We can support their work, but we cannot do it for them.

Sit down, be still, and be quiet are the 3 most debilitating phrases that can be said to a developing boy.

@trishstratuscom @MariaMontessori I'm currently doing my degree in childcare and did 3 months training in a Montessori crèche and I can say there's nothing else quite like it

@trishstratuscom @MariaMontessori That was the original plan for both of my daughters, who started #Montessori at preschool. But here they still are, as a teen and a tween, still attending - and thriving!

Today is Max’s last day at his Montessori school where he started his schooling journey at 2 . For parents making that important choice-a Montessori start from the beginning is a terrific option. I encourage you to explore the @MariaMontessori way! I’m so proud of my little man!

A great big congratulations to our Head-of-School and co-founder, June George, as she begins the AMI Training-of-Trainers program in San Diego! We can’t wait for the new chapter of Baan Dek to be unfold, and many more possibilities to come! #Montessori

Most people don't ask their elders parenting advice. HUGE mistake. I asked a bunch of 80+ year-olds. Here's what they told me: "I wish I would've spent more time with my kids instead of working more to earn more to buy vacations and things. Our kids just wanted our time."
