People have different views on Montessori. I used Montessori with my children and I believe it is a very successful way of educating children so I would like to hear the views on it. I wish to ask Ms O'Connor about maternity benefit and leave. There is an issue around public versus private sector. Personally, I believe it is easier to get leave and to take extra parental leave in the public service than it is in the private sector. I do not know how we could deal with it but it is an issue out there.
