Montessori schools in Nepal and a school in Mumbai where children take on big world problems are at the center of this talk by Gavin McCormack. It is for parents and teachers who want to see what real responsibility can look like for children. It also covers teaching through stories and a daily observation wheel. Children in these schools make sandwiches, teach at a nearby school and plant their own forest with a loan for saplings.
