Montessori has nothing to do with this, my triple experience is that kids figure out the method allows them to derp around, and they will derp around. The school tells nothing as keeping the cash coming in is more important than kids education. A passionate kid is passionate, the method is not making him passionate. |

He just likes programming. He likes building stuff. One of his best friends is a kid his age who lives across the country. They just like being productive.
At the end of my previous post, I was trying to dispel this idea that kids under ten are incapable of doing things independently. That they're incapable of engaging in things like an adult. If a 3 year old can grocery shop and make a cake, an 8 year old can watch a game dev talk. Can be obsessed with game engines. Can learn to juggle.
My niece wrote a blog post years ago when she was under ten, and the comments she got were "your parents must have written this for you, you aren't capable of having done this" which is absurd. Don't act like kids are incapable just because the ones you see are incapable.
