My wife and I recently moved to a parish teaching Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. When friends walked us through the classrooms, we were astonished. I've had a variety of experiences teaching homeschoolers and religious ed, but never had I seen anything like this. It was just a few months ago that our friends gave us the tour, and here you are giving contexts. Very timely for me.
And very informative about Maria Montessori. What genius to come through her child's birth and upbringing bearing gifts like this! And what a gift to her - that unexpected love child!
Also, I like very much your chart of planes of development, relating Montessori and her successors with stages of classical education (Dorothy Sayers) and gifts of the Holy Ghost.
And I like your relaxed way of inviting moms and dads to integrate Montessori's insights in their own child raising without sweating the small stuff; i.e., without putting "the system" ahead of their children. Montessori Nazis, eh?
In a nutshell, what's not to like here? Wow, Regina. Thank you for this.
