Montessori Education with Jesse McCarthy

One little change can have an impact.

Jeff Bezos was a Montessori child -- and became one of the most successful entrepreneurs in history.

Is there a connection between early Montessori education and later success in business?

Our guest today, the ed-tech entrepreneur William Kelly, thinks there can be, if an individual chooses such a career path for his or her life.

And Will himself is proof, being a former Montessori child who now attributes much of his success as an adult to his Montessori schooling.

On the show today are Angeline Lillard and Justus Randolph, two research professors who recently found some impressive results for children in Montessori school vs traditional school.

In the aftermath of the atrocities of WWII, Maria Montessori gave a speech.

Given the current state of the world, especially with the recent horrific attack on Israel -- really on all civilized human beings -- her talk is well worth hearing.

"... the monster does not come to life all of a sudden. It is not created in one moment, in one hour, in one week, even in one year."

No-nonsense answers to three Montessori parent questions from a live Q&A with Ginni Sackett and Jesse McCarthy:

-How much screen time should young children have, if any?

-What happens after Montessori school?

-How do we do Montessori at home?

“I always thought I’d send my kids to public school. But I’m probably not going to do that now.”

Andrew, who understandably didn’t want to share his last name for this discussion, has been an elementary school teacher for the past 10 years. But he’s recently started to question if what he and his public-school colleagues are doing is actually helping students — or holding them back.

With his own two young children (a toddler and a 5-year-old) now in Montessori school, and their showing incredible growth in it, Andrew believes he just might have found a successful alternative to America’s traditional system which, ironically, he is still a part of.

Taking on critical questions and feedback...

-Can children be too confident? Should we be encouraging humility instead?
-Are Montessori children stronger academically and socially and emotionally, etc. because they come from higher SES (socio economic status), i.e. from richer families?
-Is it better to drill kids in school or allow them to follow their interests?
-And more...
