montessori

I just watched 'True Grit', the promotional video put together by the Western States Montessori Conference. Though set in the late 19th century, somewhat before Dr. Maria Montessori's elevation to Saint, the role of an early Montessori education in the development of protagonist Mattie Ross is clear.

I highly recommend this film if you are on the fence about a Montessori education for your child. As the WSMC explains in their literature, fence sitting and fences generally remain divisive topics in the American West.
