By allowing children to explore their own limits and frequently exceed them, the Montessori system of education will prepare the next generation of leaders (thought leaders, business leaders, community leaders) which is what America DESPERATELY needs to regain its standing on the world stage.
Why is this important?
This is a petition to ask our legislators to seriously consider allowing Montessori style education to become the norm, rather than a "charter" phenomenon. I have personally seen the benefits of the Montessori system work - the "classroom" is centered around the needs and learning styles of the children, rather than children having to adapt their learning styles to the "test-driven" education system we currently have in place.
