The Placement: For my week of work experience I went to a private kinder garden called “Montessori Early Education Centre”, were the children are taught the Montessori method of learning which includes developing their natural interests and activities rather than using formal teaching methods.

I hated it and as an egomaniacal preschooler I just couldn’t understand why I wasn’t the center of attention as I had been for my entire life. My first day there, I distinctly remember standing outside all day kicking the fence post. There was another time that I escaped and walked down the street to the business my mom owned. She was upset, as any parent would be. But I continued to attend that…

Every pupil must pass through this stage regardless of your age. Primary or elementary school take students aged 6 to 11. It’s a six years long of…
