the only people i knew growing up who went to montessori we’re very affluent white kids with hyper involved parents.

even when given access to school choice, less affluent and minority parents do not choose montessori and there is absolutely a reason for that.

Is the reason because montessori schools are often high-priced? Because that's definitely true (and you can easily say it's a privilege to attend one).

That doesn't, however, mean the methodologies don't work or don't apply. You can study the methods in any of her ~20ish books, or the more modernized recaps of them.
