Many of these schools are translating the method for 3 year olds to 8 or 15 year olds with disastrous consequences.

Ummmm....this is completely contrary to my experience and to the literature. My child and her friends who are gifted did not experience disastrous consequences at the Montessori school they attended through 5th grade and were well prepared to transition to various public and private schools. I would say that whatever is going on at the school in Houston certainly does not mean that Montessori is imploding.
