This seems like a gross amount of individual perspective being passed unlabeled. School, as it currently exists, may be boring. I remember being bored out of my mind; that didn't necessarily need to be so though. Many teachers read out of our books and could explain little else beyond the content of the book. I hated maths and Spanish as a result. Many of the teachers attracted to these subjects aren't the kind of people who should be teaching kids. Meanwhile, when I learned Chemistry I learned more about maths than I could've ever dreamed and I was captivated. As an adult I relearned a lot of that math to succeed as a programmer and it was fun. I think, largely, we fail to meet students where they are with respect to their education. We shove everything down their throats on our schedule rather than the pace in which they can build on these subjects. The result is boredom derivative of disenchantment. I'm not even sure what your point about Montessori education is. The teachers do not make it special. The method is what's special, which is that pace is dictated by the pupil.
