Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos credit Montessori education as a major factor in their success

Yeah, site looks totally bogus. Jeff Bezos is mentioned in the headline, but not in the "article". The sentence structure is horrible. I think that the part, "Having been friends since childhood ..." is supposed to mean that Larry and Sergey were friends from childhood. If so, that's wrong, at least according to Google: "Larry Page and Sergey Brin were not terribly fond of each other when they first met as Stanford University graduate students in computer science in 1995."

Maybe the author considers grad school to be part of childhood :)

Could this site be the result of a poorly paid PR firm for Montessori?

Also, the photos are currently mislabeled. (Brin and Page are reversed.) I expect the author will fix this at his own pace.

Yeah, I kind of agree. Site looks totally bizarre. Steven Levitt(freakonomics) has also mentioned somewhere that schooling and (obesseive)parenting are somewhat irrelevant in one's success (to some degree, at least).
