I wanted to remind all of you of the wonderful resource we have in Dr. Steven Hughes. As a pediatric neuropsychologist, he has special insight into what school environment is the best for children. He became a huge proponent of the Montessori method as he noted that two facts: how the method correlated to the actual stages of the development of the brain, and how a Montessori education emphasizes what parents, children and teachers find to be important for success in life. Here is the recording of his entire talk. It takes a while to get going, so be patient! Check out his website, goodatdoingthings.com for other information.
