I wonder what they think of Montessori schooling, where no age is too young.

And any discipline is too much.
I did some work for the local branch of those hell holes... run by the wife of the mayor at the time.

Montessori schools work like some of the ivy league universities. They do IQ testing and only take students who are bright enough to succeed in spite of neglect and lack of meaningful guidance. Claim credit in spite of minimal instructions given.

Montessori is wrong, because it tries to hijack play and make it into “learning”. Kids are entitled to play, just for fun, and it should be left alone.

There is no one size fits all solution for ever single child.

Just like everything else in life.
