When I was young my parents enrolled my sister and I in Montessori school. We still thank my mom to this very day. I enjoyed school so much that I cried on breaks (what a dork, I know). Dr. Montessori gave the world a scientific method, practical and tested, for bringing forth the very best in young human beings. She taught adults how to respect individual differences, and to emphasize social interaction and the education of the whole personality rather than the teaching of a specific body of knowledge. I spent the ages of 5-11 in Montessori, eventually transferring to a normal junior high. I still keep in touch with my teacher, "Miss Janet" to this day.
