Texas "educators" succeed in whitewashing history

[Curtis Metcalf]

Of course this is a problem with all styles of education; nothing fits everyone. 

That's right. But why does it have to?

Teaching students to be independent learners and then facilitating their learning process works. See Montessori, Maria.

Ran across this on the web:
Dear Texas: Please shut up. Sincerely, History

CM:  <<Teaching students to be independent learners and then facilitating their learning process works. See Montessori, Maria.>>

Because not everyone can be an indepentent learner.  I say this as someone who would never suceed in an "independent learning enviroment.". I learn best within structure enviroment.  Put me in independent learning, and unless I am really interested in a topic, I'd be too lazy.

It is a mistake to think that Montessori schools are without structure. They are structured differently than traditional schools.

And I disagree, I think everyone can learn to become an independent learner. You have learned that you learn better in a structured environment. So now there is nothing to stop you from creating or acquiring whatever structure you need to learn.
