In the New Yorker article, the author takes issue with the fact that there are very few public Montessori schools, but fails to suggest why this might be the case. I'd offer that perhaps this this is because a Montessori education is child-focused, while public educational institutions (like the ones I attended) tend to be institution-focused. Valuing the worth of the child is somehow antithetical to the structure and order they impose.
