This is Stella
Is that your garden, Sofie? It's sensational.
[speaking from the subantarctic windswept hilltops of wellington). -
If so, I'm in the wrong discussion group on the wrong subject on the wrong blog.
Good luck with finding a better one..

Tells you all you need to know about their withered intellect and unconfident emptiness of spirit.
That's my quote of the day. Good one Sacha

DHC gives the impression of being threatened by informed debate, which is .. unfortunate. I thought there was a horrid hypocrisy implict in the article, in that she seemed to be taking Russell to task for somehow stifling public debate, which couldn't be further from the truth - PA is a great forum for no-holds-barred debate, yet with a certain commitment to principles of good faith by most participants. In contrast, most opinion columnists are a blight on society.

My apologies, DHC's article related to the previous post (on vox pops), not this one.

Back to the subject of this post .. watch out Russell, Deborah Hill Cone is onto you. Even by her own standards this piece is bizarre.

And from the point of view of the working parent, the preschool option isn't all that convenient. The parent fits in with the Montessori schedule rather than vice versa.

if the Montessori method is so good, why isn't everyone using it?
Short answer: it works really well for some children, not so well for others.

More from Middleton Grange:
Additionally, curricula that fail to take seriously the depth of sin in the individual, and the consequences of sin at a personal and social level, run the risk of doing pupils and New Zealand society the greatest possible disservice. Curricula which are only therapeutic, pandering to pupil potential and self-maximisation, and which never mention the human capacity for selfishness, deception and violence, and which describe human fallenness, sin and even evil as impersonal and as the result of economic, political or societal failure, are trivial. Our curricula cannot be so: they must bear the imprimatur [10] of Scripture and the awful revelation of the cross.
WT, as they say, F?

Agree, great article, thanks Mr Brown.
Oh, and for an alternative view of the same story -- the Kiwiblog thread.
Nice to see you raising the tone of the KB comments thread too!
