Isn't Montessori just playing with no structured learning?

Rote learning ftw.
Critical thinking to follow.

I quite agree.
Get the facts in there first, and explain what they mean later.

Too right.
I still occasionally have those "so that's what it means" moments.

It also says
In 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.

I used to know a carpenter who made 'learning toys' for Montessori schools.
I think the main thing they learn is how to fit the right shape in the right hole.
So they'll at least end up more qualified than most people on here.
