The study found that when parents regularly checked the app for grades, students reported a stress level of 2.7 out of 5, compared to 2 for those whose parents did not.
Educator Geert Looyschelder emphasizes that focusing primarily on grades detracts from essential life skills such as empathy and flexibility, which are crucial for overall development.
The Montessori approach promotes giving students responsibility and ownership in their education; constant parental oversight undermines this principle and leads to heightened stress levels.
The school community, including 95% of parents, supported the pause on grade reporting, recognizing the need to alleviate pressure from academic performance and allow students to learn from mistakes.
