Abstract/Notes: This author observed that many Montessori schools have made efforts to include diversity in their programs. She toured schools in Chicago and found them oozing with multicultural awareness--from the library books on the shelves to the marketing materials they provided to the classroom celebrations of a variety of holidays. However, she observed that most of the students and teachers in these schools appear to be white. Her observations made her to wonder how student populations reflect a paradox when parents and schools are recognizing the importance of diversity in Montessori schools. She contends that Montessori schools are uniquely positioned to become not just actors, but leaders in applying diversity principles to education. She provides several suggestions on how these schools could realize this goal.

Abstract/Notes: During my tenure as Kingsley's head of school, I've seen an increase in parental anxiety, including worries about children developing "on schedule." Perhaps it's related to a general trend of parents seeking more information about their child's learning and a less-thancomplete understanding of Montessori pedagogy. Every parent communication, calendar event, or other interaction is now guided by what we call the "three clear points" (TCP): 1.

Abstract/Notes: The author knew she would be picky about where her child started his schooling. After calling over 30 public and private schools within a 50-mile radius of her home, and then visiting more than 15 of them, the author chose Lexington Montessori School (LMS). However, when she tells friends and acquaintances about her son's fantastic school, she discovers that Montessori is not well understood. There appear to be two threads of thinking about the Montessori philosophy. One view is that the Montessori environment is chaotic: "It's too much to expect children to choose their own work for hours at a time. The other view is that Montessori is too rigid: "Making simple things like taking off your coat or eating your lunch into a job to learn is too much for a child." Children need unstructured time to relax. However, the author believes in the intangible value of the intrinsic love of learning that Montessori nurtures. She wants her child to be able to learn with confidence and develop a passion for learning so that he will be able to learn whatever skill he needs to survive in any situation he faces. Furthermore, he will know when to act independently and when to engage others for help.
