Do you think kids should have recess? If so, for what purpose? Or, what do you think of Montessori education?

  > Do you think kids should have recess? If so, for what purpose? Sure, for the same reason that adults take coffee breaks. This doesn't seem to contradict what I said. In fact it's a very clear delineation between recreation and work. The problem is when children (or adults) behave as though they're on recess when they're supposed to be working. > Or, what do you think of Montessori education? I'm no expert, but it doesn't seem as though the educator/pupil ratios required to make it work are scalable.

  >Montessori education Why do people always mention this like it isn't a niche educational experience that already self-selects for the children of well-off, white parents? Montessori is almost as relevant to the public education discourse as Catholic schools imo.
