Here is a video I found about Montessori education and it's alignment with Objectivist principles and was wondering what the FDR community thought about the subject. I highly recommend checking out the video:
Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori and characterised by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development.
Mixed age classrooms, with classrooms for children ages 21⁄2 or 3 to 6 years old by far the most common
Student choice of activity from within a prescribed range of options
Uninterrupted blocks of work time, ideally three hours
A constructivist or "discovery" model, where students learn concepts from working with materials, rather than by direct instruction
Specialised educational materials developed by Montessori and her collaborators
Freedom of movement within the classroom
A trained Montessori teacher
Would you send your kids to a Montessori school? Why or why not?
The compatibility of Objectivist philosophy and Montessori education
