Our Montessori primary school will serve the children who live in the area. It will be oversubscribed so nobody will be forced to use it because of geography. Buildings are in short supply and we're not yet certain where the school will be located. Wherever it ends up, it'll be in the middle of a diverse community ethnically, socio-economically. It will be of great benefit to the children who attend, an asset to our borough and I hope a model to be followed widely across the country. Montessori is an effective, yet under-used method of teaching children and, having experienced Montessori pre-school for my first child, I wouldn't want the alternative. We have a right to choose the educational methods used to help our children learn. The Montessori choice isn't yet available. With more of our hard work, it will be soon.
