Thank you for this thoughtful piece Adrian! I think you’re on the right path and I hope you lead the way for other teachers with your example and your writing. Character is so much more important than content. These children will, after all, grow up to be the next leaders! I’m a Montessori teacher (I work with ages 3-6) and community is the core of our school culture.
Wow. I learned so much from this. I’m not a teacher or a parent. I’m a coach and so many of my conversations with clients are about how valuable it would have been to learn how to communicate lovingly with others or how to listen to their intuition or how to understand emotions in school. I hear so many negative things about schools these days, but here you are, teaching the 4 agreements!!!!! Yay! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you for your kind words! I hope that teaching students to be impeccable with their words using the Is it True/Kind/Necessary test is helping them. They are still 10/11-years-old and impulse control can still be a challenge!
