Abstract/Notes: This article reports on findings from an ethnographic and comparative study examining interactions between educational systems and mutual respect in classrooms. I define mutual respect as the work of intervening on power asymmetries typically found in classrooms—both between teachers and students, and among students—by way of according children increased equality, autonomy, and equity. I partnered with four elementary schools, situated across two systems (i.e., International Baccalaureate [IB] and Montessori) and two national contexts (i.e., Washington, DC, and Toronto). Analysis of observation and video-cued focus group data revealed the following: IB and Montessori teachers differed in how they attempted equity in practice, and, relatedly, they differed in how they understood equity to interact with other dimensions of mutual respect (i.e., equality, autonomy). These differences between the systems held constant across two national contexts. This study contributes to ongoing conceptualizations of equity, educational systems, and the potential relationship between the two.

Abstract/Notes: A letter was received yesterday by the management at Boyland, which came through Dr. Montessori. It announced that Dr. Hewitt, president of the American Archaeological society, who is in charge of the San Diego exposition, has just returned from a visit in Washington, where he arranged with the Red Cross to take up the White Cross work of Dr. Montessori, under its auspices. This work is to be among the nerve-stricken children of France. The plan is to train teachers to send to France to work among these children, and also to bring thousands of the children as well as war widows to America. Boyland will give its services to the White Cross campaign.
