There is simply no single "style" of teaching that is universally good for all students. Montessori schools are lauded for being great institutions that instill a sense of responsibility and ownership to students for their own success. The kids who are successful in these environments are really successful. The ones who aren't simply crash and burn (and it unfortunately looks to the untrained eye that either the kid or the system is broken).
Homeschooling can be an excellent option for lots of really good reasons, but I think in most cases, traditional schooling (public or private) is best even if it's not perfect.
Good thing is Gae, there are tons of resources for homeschooling parents and there may even be meetups or virtual classrooms where your kids can work on projects with other kids from around the country. It'll put them in positions where they need to collaborate with people who are different, accommodate the views and opinions of others, and just observe their peers to get ideas on how they'll model their own work style.

Yeah, it was a pain in the ass to find all that shit, the reosurces....out of the blue.,..but we're over the shock now. We never had any concerns about our childrens academic development. We did most of that at home anyway. Schools are full up, it's daycare. We didn't mind.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't know what tune, but the mascot just has to be a leprechaun.

My eldest son already has a head like a brick....I probably can't make it any worse.

NO LEPRECHAUNS!! Given GB’s background, a Bánánach would be more appropriate.
