After over 30 years of occupational experience (engineer), I am now able to recognise educational patterns in colleagues present and past.
I have worked with people from many cultures, mostly western / central Europeans.
In the latter years, I am encountering people who have received their pre-university education at Montessori schools.
My 1st impressions of this 'class' (debateable term!) is that they could be described as 'selfish', or better self-centred. The scope of their social awareness is limited, and their basic manners unusually self-centred. This contrasts to the Steiner pupils, whose social awareness is superb.
Is this a justified view... or have I just hit 'a bad bunch'?
Thanks for your views. -g-
