What have you done recently that has made you feel like more of an adult than you thought you were?This morning I went to a Montessori nursery with Mrs B' to put our daughter's name down for next year (typical white middle class north London issue). This made me feel scarily responsible and 'grown up'. When did you last feel like a real adult?
Alt: Is there really a point to 'alt' questions?
AltAlt: who would you like to kill themselves* (other than me)?
* Bono is obvious, so be more creative than that thanks.

Word of warning:My boss’s wife used to be a teacher at a Montessori school – she is borderline illiterate and were I to be told she’d be teaching my child I would change her school immediately. Seriously she’s lovely but such an utter dunce that she’s only allowed basic functions on our sales system and constantly cuts and pastes our photography into emails to press, leaving us without a master copy. This has gone on for 8 years.

Easier than thatI've a copy of the whole image bank on my local drive which she can't access so when they go 'missing' (cue Groundhog Day esque bafflement like it's never happened before) I simply copy and paste a replacement.
Seriously she's got a very low IQ - if Montessori people hired her to teach others I question their judgement and I question it HARD.

Each term little tangle comes home with a letter from the headteacher advising us of how well he has been doing.You know the sort of thing, standard template letter that they send to the decent kids.
Each time I cringe at the misuse of possessive pronouns in it.

It also saysIn 1967, the US Patent Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled that "the term 'Montessori' has a generic and/or descriptive significance."[28] Therefore, in the United States and elsewhere, the term can be used freely without giving any guarantee of how closely, if at all, a program applies Montessori's work.
