We've been very fortunate to find our way into a publicly funded Montessori system that goes all the way through high school. So many of these elephants are addressed by Montessori methods.

Lest I sound like a zealot - I acknowledge that Montessori is just ONE methodology that works for some students. There are pockets of educators who work within their pedagogy to address these elephants too.

This was a great read. I think it deserves a companion piece that talks about all of the elephants in regards to kids' family lives that effect learning. There's only so much a school/educator/mentor can do.
