SK>CB>Several years ago we had another participant here who promoted the same
SK>CB>ideas - free will within (or without) the education system. I'm not
SK>CB>sure - is this the basis of what is known as the Montessori method?
SK>But I DON'T see it as feasible that we could operate our entire nation's
SK>school systems like this. There are too many for whom it would not work.
I don't see it functioning well on a large scale either. It makes
assumptions about human nature, such as motivation, honesty, work ethic,
etc., that give me cause to believe the theory is not based in reality.
