Abstract/Notes: Objectives. To evaluate trends in rates of personal belief exemptions (PBEs) to immunization requirements for private kindergartens in California that practice alternative educational methods. Methods. We used California Department of Public Health data on kindergarten PBE rates from 2000 to 2014 to compare annual average increases in PBE rates between schools. Results. Alternative schools had an average PBE rate of 8.7%, compared with 2.1% among public schools. Waldorf schools had the highest average PBE rate of 45.1%, which was 19 times higher than in public schools (incidence rate ratio = 19.1; 95% confidence interval = 16.4, 22.2). Montessori and holistic schools had the highest average annual increases in PBE rates, slightly higher than Waldorf schools (Montessori: 8.8%; holistic: 7.1%; Waldorf: 3.6%). Conclusions. Waldorf schools had exceptionally high average PBE rates, and Montessori and holistic schools had higher annual increases in PBE rates. Children in these schools may be at higher risk for spreading vaccine-preventable diseases if trends are not reversed.

Abstract/Notes: The latter, a scientific description of anthropological observational methods, with a wide range of citations from noted anthropologists, biologists, and geneticists, demonstrates Montessori's in-depth knowledge of much of the then-current literature and heavily emphasizes the theories of her former professor, Giuseppe Sergi, who claimed the Mediterranean race as the "greatest race in the world" (Wikipedia, 2018). Montessori's letters, unlike her books and other academic publications, brim with pride, awe, insecurity, and the innermost feelings of a close daughter/father relationship that belie the original myths of tension arising from her decision to study medicine. [...]the expectation of widespread acceptance of her method, coupled with waning Italian interest and a chance to exhibit the method in a model school to some of the most important names in education, persuaded her to come to the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition, in California, where she remained for quite some time.
