However confused Montessori's personal theology was her teaching methods, which have no doubt been
substantially modified, are far more sensible than what goes on in contemporary gladiator academies(public schools).
If you want your child to be a complete drone than public schools are ideal. In addition to practical education being reduced to the lowest common denominator, expect your child to be exposed to the most coarse and vulgar
behavior and trends of popular culture, as their classmates will be walking ambassadors of this social dysfunction.
Montessori was correct in the sense that the role of education is help a child discover and encourage them in their true passions and talents.
I believe most people are unhappy not just because they shut God out of their lives but because they never
found their purpose or calling.
Many of those in the West dread going to work at meaningless jobs that are utterly unfulfilling.
We live in a horribly unnatural and artificial system compared to just about any other culture in human history.
Women are conditioned to focus on silly careers that preclude, delay or interfere with motherhood.
Men are no longer connected to the land or their community as bakers, farmers, blacksmiths, warriors, explorers,
craftsman. They are paper shufflers, bent over computer monitors and working on spreadsheets.
How do they cope with the monotony, the conformity?
Drugs, video games, an obsessive devotion to professional sports, alcoholism, porn, promiscuity.
Any independent, creative or imaginative child will flourish far more in a Montessori school
Children want to socialize and have fun. Ask a child if he prefers to study math, study lenguage or go play football with his friends, almost all of them will say to play football. That is why the Montessori method of leaving children on their own doesn't work.
I'm not saying that you have to take it to public school, even less now that the satanists who govern us have turned it into a perversion machine. But well-planned homeschooling works much better than Montessori. Children need to learn discipline and have a well thought out and planned curriculum.
jobs. Okay, I'm Spanish and this may be different in the US.
But I think that the rejection of those jobs and the preference for more qualified jobs is because they are very poorly paid. Here a salary farm worker earns the minimum wage and many times even less because they work without a contract and earn less than the minimum wage.
If that same worker had studied to be an engineer, doctor, high public worker, etc, he would be earning triple or more money. That is why most people prefer to study at the university than have a manual job.
When the construction bubble 20 years ago, a bricklayer earned double or more than now. Many young men left the high school to go to work at the construction site.
Now hardly anyone wants to be a bricklayer, because the salaries are much lower, the working conditions are worse and massive immigration has greatly deteriorated this type of work, the same happens with the countryside salary jobs, etc.
Public job oppositions are overloaded with people who apply, even for a simple administrative assistant position, why? By vocation? No, because they are paid more than in the private sector and the labor agreement is respected, if they work overtime they are paid, they are not (illegally) forced to do overtime without getting paid as often happens in the private sector.
I remember that here in Murcia, when the government said it was going to multiply labor inspections by five, many businessmen in the agricultural and construction sectors got angry and even the minister received threats for this. ¿Why? Because many of them have their workers working without a contract to pay them less than what they put in the agreement, or they do overtime without getting paid, or they have illegal immigrants working for a pittance (then these are the same ones who complain about the problems of illegal immigration, that's the level of hypocrisy)
And people know this, that's why in my opinion nobody wants those jobs. But when they paid well there was no this problem.
The main hobby of our elders were playing cards, dominoes or whatever was played in the town/village/city (here there was no difference between the urban or rural population)
Here this was called "Echar la partida" which would be translated as "play the game".
we younger used to play this in college cafeteria in the class break:
They didn't play video games, it's true, but they played card or board games. I agree that board or card games are better than video games.
