EP 47 : Kindergarten & Student Government in Traditional Schools

Each type of school has its own conception of how young children should be educated. Today we look at how Traditional schools run their Kindergartens. One of the questions we ask is, "Why do schools that value self discipline an order allow the youngest children such freedom?"

In the second part of the show we dig into how a security minded traditional school might run a student government. How does a school that values authority delegate decisions to its students?

Also, as the Corona virus pandemic continues to have a major effect on the world, we update how our own schools are adapting to the crisis.  

In this show we reference this research paper on the introduction of academic studies to Kindergarten and also this article on the differences between Montessori early years education and traditional kindergarten.
