I don't understand why self-directed education stops so early. Why aren't there high schools and colleges employing Maria Montessori's profound insights?
I wish I had been lucky enough to attend a Montessori school as a kid. :-(
- nostrademons 19y agoThere are, it's just that they're fairly rare and you need to know where to look. I went to a high school with very similar methods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Charter_Essential_School#Philosophy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Charter_Essential_School...), though to my knowledge they were developed independently. And I do think that whatever limited success I've achieved so far has been largely because of it. On the college level, there's Hampshire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampshire_College http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampshire_College.
