+1 Nanny and homeschool teacher here.  I’ve seen the same.  Kids who had previously been able to focus on a fun game (or their creation) for long periods gradually lost that ability due to so many forced changes in preschool.  They also seemed to lose creative drive (more common in kids who attended Montessori).[/quote]

Yes, just anecdotal (and slightly off-topic), but all three of the kids I know who go to Montessori preschool CANNOT entertain themselves at all. They are really whiny, have to bring around their own special toys with them, and are always coming up to their parents looking lost in an unstructured play situation.[/quote]
Montessori gets it from both ends. Half the critics complain that Montessori schools lack discipline and structure because they just let the kids do whatever they want. And the other half say that they are too rigid and structured because poor Larlo can't do whatever he wants whenever he wants to. And with confirmation bias, they all have anecdotal examples.[/quote]
