Montessori education is great for kids at all levels. Given how screwed the typical grade-stratified butts-in-desks-no-fidgeting-there-Johnny factory education model is for most public and private schools, I'd wait and see on the snark.
Not a Musk fan here, but a stopped watch can still tell the correct time.
It works spectacularly well for home schoolers. It could work well for mixed-grade classrooms.
After all - almost nothing could be worse than what we’re doing in public education, right now…
Cookie cutter 'everyone gets the same education' means nobody brings anything new or unique to the table in the workplace.
Dramatic 'experiments' in education like this seems like a good idea. The end result will be more variety in how people are educated and how they act in adulthood. In the same way companies push diversity because studies show more diverse teams have higher economic output, diversity of education probably has similar benefits.
TL;DR if your children are about the same age as Elon's kids, you’re probably ok.
