I admire Maria Montessori

I admire Maria Montessori who was originator of the Montessori method of education for preschool children. She was the first woman to receive a medical degree in Italy. I think that she was the great woman because at that time, It was hard for women to have right to learn at university. She worked with subnormal children as a psychiatrist at the University of Rome. It was there that she pioneered in the instruction of retarded children, especially through the use of an environment rich in manipulative materials. She thought that this method could be made in the education of normal preschool children. The chief components of the Montessori method are self-motivation and auto-education. This method is also very useful and meaningful at the present. After I was interested in education, I thought that education was very important for society and individual. And then I accidentally knew method of her in a book. That was extremely exciting method. She must have thought that a child will learn naturally and the teacher acts as an observer and only interferes as needed. I also agree the surprising method. She tried to reverse the traditional education system and for ages the Montessori method has been authorized. The method of Maria Montessori is a groundbreaking idea. This is why I admire Maria Montessori.

Review: 아빠, 어디가? (Dad, where are we going?)

A Korean TV program 아빠, 어디가?  is recently a extremely popular TV program. Have you ever heard this program? It is very entertaining and moving.

What the program is about family journey that many families, specially a dad and his son or daughter, go to somewhere together. Every week, they go trip to Korean various rural areas. This journey is affective to viewers because viewers always wish to tour for funny life. And the viewers can feel enjoyable and excited by just watching it. As you know, Korean feels that a dad is taciturn and blunt person. And in family, dad and his child keep awkward silence. In order to improve this relationship, this surprising program appears. So I think that it is such a good and thankful program for them. Dads can not only feel love and special feelings but also understand thought of their children by touring with them. They will never forget the wonderful time they had together. This program 아빠 어디가?  is a great family entertainment.

My only worrying is that the children in program might feel difficult to live their life. Many viewers pay attention to them and focus on their real life. And they can feel uncomfortable. The love and attention of this program are fine, but I think that a private life of the children must be protected.

All the same, watch this program and you will feel so fun and expect the happening about next week’ journey.
