LETTERS TO The Editors

Readers Respond I usually find Montessori Life to be an incredibly useful resource, but the most recent issue (Vol. 31, No. 3, Fall 2019) knocked it out of the park with Dr. Olivia Christensens article, Running in Circles: Dilemmas, Uncertainty, and the Freedom to Cope" Ive been teaching in Montessori Toddler classrooms for 4 years now, and as I start in a new school this year, I felt very connected to this article.

If we are teaching our students to solve their social problems, behave in an appropriate manner, and be accountable for their actions, words, and choices, why are we as Montessori educators not doing the same?
