On a completely different note from my last post, I'm curious as to how people feel about this. Montessori schools focus on allowing students to learn their own way, allowing the child to find their own path to the objective. While not exactly a technological application to the classroom currently, this could change with the increased reliance on gadgets in today's world. How do you feel about this teaching method?
Here is a video explaining some of the ideas of the Montessori Method:

Alex, thanks for sharing! I had always wondered what a Montessori approach looked like, and this is definitely a drastic difference to traditional American schooling, ESPECIALLY with the intentional avoidance of implementing modern technology.
