John Taylor Gatto! Love him. I heard this talk after it was posted at AERO, I think it was (www.educationrevolution.org). He's so refreshing. My first exposure to him was this article, The Seven Lesson School Teacher, available at www.newciv.org/whole/schoolteacher.txt
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Mason! Love her, too. Her 6-volume set of books that she wrote is free at www.amblesideonline.org/CM/toc.html
Montessori Math! Ah, love it, too. We've been introducing math with some Montessori tools, some cheapos, and some homemade. I find Montessori Outlet to offer some of the best prices on authentic, high-quality items.
Thanks for all you share. I look forward to reading your Meme if you get time. (No problem if not!)
In response to your earlier question: It would be fun if you called me Bea -- that's my middle name. Most people call me Glory, or my family calls me Glory Bea.
I just clicked your last link, to see it went to Montessori Outlet. I go there to dream, too :) Those beads are SOOOOO nice!
