<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

**Background**

The wife and I have a son, age 5, that was recently selected for a Montessori program in our school district. The school is publicly funded and spaces are given away by lottery due to overwhelming demand. He joined the school in April under the pre-k program and will remain in his current class for kindergarten. 

**The problem**

The school thinks that my son is having behavior issues and that he may not be cut out for montessori. They cite the fact that their students are supposed to be independent, but that my 5 year old is incapable of even going the bathrooms by himself (they often find him crawling under and over, yes over, the stalls). He only completes one "section/center" or "activity" per day, whereas his peers complete anywhere from 3-5.

**My take (and my wife's)**

While there is a chance that our son has a mild attention disorder we don't see much difference between his behavior and that of his cousin (same age) or our neighbors kids. They're all rambunctious boys with lots of energy. We think the issue is a lack of discipline in the school. The teacher seems very hesitant to call us about behavioral issues and apparently there is no consequence for any bad behavior (all redirection)

**The question/s**

1. What has been your experience with Montessori education and discipline?
2. Any suggestions?
<bot>: My childs Montessori teacher thinks our son isn't a good fit for Montessori, but we think he just needs a firmer hand when it comes to discipline. Thoughts?
