Ever shoot up a school? Ever murder anyone in cold blood? Did you go to college? Do you make a good income? Are you married with children who are all pretty happy? Well adjusted? We may not always agree, but you've clearly become an active and contributing member of society.
While there may not be enough data for causation with Montessori, there is absolutely data to support a strong correlation between the method and success and social development. More is actually true of the
Second Step Program. I've seen the raw data from when my mom used to employ the method at elementary schools. It absolutely works and has a near perfect success rate.
