In a bid to reduce stress and performance pressure on students, the Jordan Montessori Lyceum in Zeist has temporarily disabled parent access to grades through the Magister app for two months. This decision follows alarming feedback from students, highlighting that constant parental oversight leads to increased anxiety and mental health issues. Educators and parents agree on the importance of maintaining trust and allowing children to share their academic progress on their own terms. While the app facilitates communication and attendance tracking, there’s a growing consensus that it may contribute to undue pressure.
