Hasbro has discovered Scrabulous. Will their lawyers swoop in and shut it down?

Charlotte Mason’s take on the Montessori method. Fascinating. (CM’s original letter has been paraphrased here into contemporary English.)

I’ve been making Primer jokes about the iPad ever since it appeared, but this beats all.

Thank you! I loved the CM letter and it was great to discover the site of Bona Vita Rusticanda Est.

Wow. I just lost a lot of respect for dear old CM. She totally misrepresents Montessori education in that letter. I wonder if it is due to an astounding lack of understanding of Montessori or if there is some sort of ulterior motive?

I will consider posting about it. The problem is that there are so very many errors in what CM claims about Montessori that I am not sure I have time or energy to counter them all. And please don’t get me wrong. I have always held CM and her educational philosophies in high regard, which is why I was so astounded by her lack of understanding of what Montessori education is all about. Her letter just has a feeling of vitriol akin to prejudice–of criticism based on erroneous assumptions, which is why I (albeit hesitatingly) question her motives to some degree.
It would be interesting to know more about the history leading up to this letter. Perhaps that would explain a bit of the rancor?
