Hello! I was wondering that in India, Montessori pedagogy is more or less adapted from long years ago, I saw it.

Listen that line about one on one teaching being more detrimental to the independent learning abilities of a child hit far too close to reality for my life. I was often taught in a small group of 3 each week out of regular classes due to my autism spectrum disorder i would often have an assistant sit with me in class too gradually my GCSE'S I would be managing on my own but still would have a close relationship with the teachers and once i was in university i could not complete or even start a research project even though i loved psychology i was overwhelmed and unprepared to tackle a task without a framework and guidance on what the result should be. I would just be smart enough to learn what i needed to learn to get the grade i needed whilst obviously i still read through all the textbooks extra theories and experiments that interested me but in terms of the actual tests I would just basically learn what i needed to write to pass.
This is the main reason i wish every school would become Montessori like a few American schools have done, Independence inearning.
