Hello!
You have received this message because I or someone I trust believes that your perspective and expertise would be valuable to this project. I would be overjoyed if you have a couple minutes to review the following thoughts.
As my 3 year old daughter, Emerson, has grown and excelled in her Montessori school, I've thought more and more about what my hopes are for her future education and what I believe an education should provide. I've attempted to put together a set of 10 belief statements that highlight the positive perspective of Emerson's education and my own learning experiences. I didn't set out to write statements that are exclusive to Montessori, but rather aspirational for the schools that I hope will help Emerson become the best possible version of herself.
What I am hoping for is feedback on the statements below. Is there something missing? Is something not clear? Does something seem misplaced, overstated or uncomfortable? Don't worry about formal remarks. I'd just love some kneejerk wisdom from someone who cares as much about education as I have grown to.
If you don't have time to review this, please don't worry about it. If you do, I'll be happy to get you a copy of the final product.
Best,
Hugh Weber
