I went to a Montessori school in the Netherlands and feel like it failed me. Just one data point and maybe it was just a bad school.

I have autism and nobody noticed or did anything about it until it was time to start preparing for high school in seventh grade. I had read all the books in the school library but was not able to spell and write. It was just way to easy for me to escape work I did not want to do.

We moved after I started high school and my sisters had to change school because of it. One of the first things they noticed at their new school is how incredibly lazy they where.

I am very happy working as a mailman but I do wonder what I would be doing now if I had learned how to study and learn at a younger age.

you definitely had a bad school. a trained montessori teacher would have noticed your challenges.

The study is about preschool (ages 3-6).
