520 _aKilpatrick, a student of John Dewey, evaluates the Montessori system critically. He acknowledges Maria Montessori’s contributions to early childhood education but raises concerns about her emphasis on rigid structure and her interpretation of child development and freedom. He argues that while her methods introduce valuable materials and child-centered approaches, they may not fully accommodate the spontaneous and socially integrative aspects of progressive education as understood in the American context.
