I am a substitute teacher for Cincinnati Public Schools. I am also a parent of three North Avondale Montessori (NAM) children and one former NAM student. My general perspective is that people do what is familiar. Being on both sides of the classroom door—parent and teacher—I started noticing that some of my sons’ behavior at home mirrored my students’ behavior at school. (Of course, I noticed most the behaviors with which I was not pleased.)
