• Original hook (Montessori school) is most interesting, in my opinion. Neutrality^talk 01:12, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
• Expansion length, sourcing, and hook all meet the DYK rules. The new article text follows the main source but has been appropriately rewritten rather than paraphrasing it too closely. And the nominator has carried out the required additional review. I agree with Neutrality that the first hook is the most interesting one. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:33, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
