^ I agree. That is really based upon the kind of home we create. It’s not fair to blame the schools for not teaching values and appropriate behavior. That is the parents’ job. The schools can reinforce that as much or as little as they like.

YES!

I don’t teach in a montessori school and nor am I that familiar with it’s principles (I actually don’t know any montessori schools or anyone who teaches in one), however I put just as much effort, blood, sweat and tears into my teaching when it comes to catering to every childs needs. Every child that enters my classroom is a individual who, as best to my abilities gets individual attention/teaching/learning methods that suits their needs. There are restrictions in terms of resources and adults in my classroom, but I try and set up my learning environment so that even if i’m not sat with a child all the time they should still be able to learn something. It’s obviously not as good as the individual attention that children seem to get in a montessori school but I do try my very best and as per assessment results and the children I have taught I do not think I am failing them by not giving them 1:1 atttention all of the time.
