Ok. My father worked with Piaget, so I lack tolerance for someone who deliberately spreads lies about Piaget's work.

Rubbish. You pretend to "infer", from a one-sentence description of how the Montessori method uses concrete materials to teach the basic arithmetic operations, that somehow other mathematical principles are absent from the Montes

More nonsense. Evidence contra your second claim, that Piaget's "stages of cognitive development orginally his and not to be found in Montessoris Teachings": Montessori's theory of the sensitive stages [1] and the planes

I call BS. Kilpatrick was a disciple of Dewey; both were known haters of Maria Montessori and her work, and never gave any specific criticism of her system, just appeals to their own authority; they basically rejected her purpose in educati

On the contrary, Montessori's work has been validated and reinforced by research and scientific insights in recent decades. [1] If you truly seek to understand the Montessori teaching method and materials, you should look into her writ

That is indeed one major, unsung positive of Wikipedia's multi-lingual system. I do it regularly (across a couple of languages other than English) when reading about current events, cultural artifacts, political entities, and most of a

Two things to say: a) come spend winter in Sweden... in Lapland the sun does not set at all in June and there is darkness around the clock in January; Stockholm is not that far up North, so we get a few hours of daylight in mid-December; an

In Europe we use the 24-hour system to write time, but a 12-hour system to speak about it. So you're invited to dinner on Saturday at 6 (nobody in their right mind would show up at 0600). Everybody learns at an early age that 4 o'

In August 1971 I witnessed a category 4 hurricane ("ouragan" in French [1]) that wrecked Vallée de Joux, a clock-making valley in the Swiss Jura (a little bit North of the Alps). All trees were down, similar to the landscape near

Building such infrastructure does properly address specific risks of natural disasters and climate change. One should not assume that climate changes have been, are, nor will be, exclusively caused by human action; one should not think th

In Switzerland, anyone collecting data about other people must make a public declaration of that collection, and may not keep such records about people who disagree with being thus documented ("fiché").
