So here in Amsterdam we have Montessori high schools.
Um there are even some really authentic Montessori high school programs in the US where you actually have farm schools and the children go and live on a farm.
um and then they learn their maths and by taking their goods to market and they learn about geography and the land by working, you know, growing vegetables and living in community with each other.
And actually Dr.
Montessori recognized that teenagers actually are in their least academic time where most traditional education becomes even more academic.
So she really proposed this buried kinder or farm school kind of model.
But we have schools in cities that are called
Urman compromises, which apply the same kind of principles, like how can we engage these children in their own learning so that and they might do more project-based learning, for example, uh to develop the skills.
And they like not having to, you know, always have to go what everyone's doing.
We don't all have to learn the letter A today, you know, so you really follow everyone's unique timeline and their unique interests and also the way they learn.
I think that's why it's really suited, because I don't think there's any educational system where that's not done.
Everything's so curriculum-based.
So by the end of year three, you're meant to be learning this.
And that's just not how a differently wild child develops.
And often how a j even un you know, normally, if we want to put that in a vertical, um, child also develops.
Everyone's unique.
Sometimes a child I'll see have be really articulate, and the other child will be very
active but they have very few words and so we're really seeing each child
what they're interested in learning in, how they learn and how we can make an engaging learning environment for them where where they guide, helping and assisting.
And we also help them build skills for when they're avoiding an area.
