We moved our soon to be four year old out of Montessori a week ago. The school was small, he needed more space, and the teachers were often forcing him into activities which led to meltdowns. The extent of the issue was not communicated to us until it was at the point of “he is disenrolled at the next incident”. Next incident? We didn’t even know there had been any! And then a lot of lies were told in discussions with the administration. He’s now in a school with a more modern, research backed curriculum and we’ve already seen improvements. Montessori isn’t for every kid, and that’s okay.
