Things have changed when looking now at the exercise books of my children although basic principles remained the same. While I see a lot of advantages of Montessori and Waldorf schools, I have doubts if the longterm outcome is really as good as believed. PISA doesn´t breakdown by school type – maybe if would be even better to look at personal happiness, yea, yea.
